- Romania – Alexandra Catalina Filip was Miss Universe Romania 2010 but 1st runner-up, Oana Paveluc, represented Romania instead.
- Turkey – Turkey sent Miss Turkey World 2010, Gizem Memic, because its Miss Universe 2010, Serenay Sarikaya, was below 18 and did not meet the age requirement.

Cayman Islands – On 8 September 2009, it was announced that the Miss Cayman Islands 2009 contest would not take place due to lack of funding and sponsorship. Since the winner of that contest also competes in Miss World, there was no Caymanian representative to Miss World 2009 either.[3] -
Estonia – Valeri Kirss, Estonia's national director, was selling the Eesti Miss Estonia pageant. -
Ethiopia -
