Miss Universe 1984 was the 33rd Miss Universe pageant, held at the James L. Knight Convention Center in Miami, Florida, United States, on 9 July 1984.
Lorraine Downes of New Zealand crowned Yvonne Ryding of Sweden as her successor at the end of the event. This was the third time that a Swedish woman had won Miss Universe, following Hillevi Rombin in 1955 and Margareta Arvidsson in 1966.
Background
= Location and date
=Initially, Calgary, Alberta, Canada was chosen as host city for the pageant, a decision announced on March 13, 1984. Funding issues arose within days when the city council would not allow the tourist bureau to commit permanent funds to the event. An agreement was reached whereby funds from the city could be used but had to be repaid, although some complained about "using sex to sell the city". By late April there were indications that the pageant might be moved to Miami, Florida due to the continued financial issues, but that negotiations in the hope of Calgary retaining the event were ongoing. Despite the attempts of Calgary's Tourist Bureau, Miami was officially announced as the new venue on 12 May 1984, a decision which cost Calgary $125,000 and left the city facing a potential lawsuit from Miss Universe Inc.,the pageant owner.
