Utah is one of the least successful states at Miss Teen USA, having only placed nine times. The first placement came in 1995, when Loni Sorden placed 2nd runner-up to Keylee Sue Sanders of Kansas. Utah was the fourth-to-last state (equal) to place at Miss Teen USA. Utah's second placement was in 2009, with Tasha Smedley making the top 15. The third placement was the following year, when Angelia Layton placed 3rd runner-up. In 2012, Keilara McCormick finished in the top 16, in 2017 Rachel Bell placed in the top 15, and in 2018 Madilen Kellogg placed top 10.

Five Utah teens have won the Miss Utah USA title and competed at Miss USA. The most recent of these is Angelia Nichole Layton, Miss Utah Teen USA 2010 and Miss Utah USA 2014, who is also part of Red Curtain Productions. Three Miss Utah Teen USA winners who won the Miss Utah Teen USA titles went on to place at Miss USA like the Miss North Carolina USA titleholders.

Lianna Beltre of Provo was crowned Miss Utah Teen USA 2025 on July 11, 2025 at Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center Jeanné Wagner Theatre in Salt Lake City. She represented Utah at Miss Teen USA 2025.
