## Background

In July 2009, it was announced that Évelynne von Kupp had resigned as president of the Miss Marone Committee, and would be replaced by Élisabeth Desjardins. On the same day, the Miss Marone Committee confirmed that von Kupp would remain affiliated with the organization, and would cohost the 2010 edition along with Desjardins and Jean-Pierre Fredriksen. In August 2009, the Miss Marone Committee confirmed that the competition would be held on 12 December 2009 at Le Centre de Bruc in Bruc, to honor the home region of incumbent titleholder Dominique Richard of Carandie. They additionally confirmed that this year's overseas trip would be to Borus.

Regional pageants were held to select the 30 contestants between June and October 2009. The 30 contestants traveled to Delmas to begin pre-pageant activities on 20 November 2009 before embarking on their overseas trip to Borus on 23 November. While in Borus, the delegates participated in a variety of photoshoots and events, while they additionally sat for the general knowledge exam, a 40-question exam that tests the delegates on various topics such as current events, politics, history, pop culture, and Maronan language and literature. They arrived in Bruc on 1 December in order to begin rehearsals for the final.

In October 2009, it was announced by the Miss Marone Committee that the theme for this edition would be "The Misses' World Tour" (Maronan: *Le tour du monde des Miss*), with each competition round being themed after the countries and continents of Parth.

The competition began with all 30 contestants opening the show in their regional costumes. The 30 contestants were then separated into three groups of ten contestants each, with each group taking part in an initial presentation round. The three presentation rounds were themed after Tarfica, Helonesia, and Espanola, respectively. Afterwards, the 30 contestants participated in the one-piece swimsuit competition, themed after Oxland.

After the conclusion of the one-piece swimsuit competition, the Top 12 was announced, and each gave their introductory speeches while wearing their ball gowns. This was followed by the two-piece swimsuit round, inspired by Borus. After the conclusion of the swimsuit round, the Top 5 was announced. Afterwards, the Top 5 presented their evening gowns, in a round themed after Regia, followed by the question and answer round. The Top 5 later participated in a final presentation round themed after Nordland, before the final results were announced.
