Miss America 2019, the 92nd Miss America pageant, though the Miss America Organization celebrated its 98th anniversary in 2018. This discrepancy is due to national pageants not being held from 1928 to 1932 or in 1934 because of financial problems associated with the Great Depression.[2] The 2019 competition was held in Atlantic City, New Jersey.[3] On May 23, 2018, it was announced that the pageant would air live on ABC on Sunday, September 9, 2018.[4] This was the last Miss America to be aired on ABC before it was moved to NBC beginning from the 2020 pageant.
At the end of the event, Miss America 2018, Cara Mund of North Dakota, officially crowned her successor, Nia Franklin of New York, as Miss America 2019.[5]
