The Czech Miss was established in 2005 and is organized and produced by Michaela Maláčová, Miss Czechoslovakia 1991 and director of Miss Marketing s.r.o. From 2005 to 2009, the pageant selected a winner to represent the country in Miss Universe, and a first runner up participated in the Miss Earth pageant.[1] In 2010, Czech Miss and its rival pageant, Miss Czech Republic (Czech: Miss České republiky) merged under the direction of Maláčová, and two winners were selected.[2] The winner of Czech Miss 2010 competed in Miss Universe 2010 and Czech Miss World 2010 vied in Miss World 2010, while the first runner up competed in Miss Earth 2010 pageant.

Since 2011 the pageant has selected three winners: Czech Miss, Czech Miss World, and Czech Miss Earth to compete in Miss Universe, Miss World, and Miss Earth respectively.[1][3][4] In 2015 Marcela Krplová became co-owner. After that previous runner up of Miss Czech Republic Ivana Kubelková became patron. In 2016 company was taken over by Martin Ditmar and Eva Čerešňáková. Since 2016 Ceska miss lost the license of Miss World to Miss Czech Republic. In 2018 Čerešňáková sold her part in company to Miss Events a.s. and Juliette Armand.
