The Mexican Major Rugby League was Mexico's premier rugby union league, consisting of 21 teams at the height of its existence.
In 2000 the Mexican Rugby Federation (FMRU) decided to create a professional rugby league. It has since dissolved, though the FMRU is in talks with America's premier Rugby league, Major League Rugby, to add a Mexican expansion team, particularly in Monterrey due to its economic ties with the United States and its proximity to the border. The main proponents of this movement are the Azcárraga family, a wealthy Mexican media dynasty, rumoured to have made an offer to Major League Rugby and Super Rugby Americas for $250 million, but were turned down due to their demand for two clubs.
