MottoRumbo a la Libertadores

The InterLiga was Mexico's national qualifying tournament from 2004 to 2010, played between eight clubs to determine two qualified clubs from that country to the Copa Libertadores.

From 1998 to 2003, the Mexican clubs competed in two preliminary rounds. The first round called Pre Pre-Libertadores was played between Mexican clubs interested in participating, it was held in the United States and two clubs advanced to the next round called Pre-Libertadores Tournament against two clubs from Venezuela, the four clubs faced each other in round-trip matches with the round-robin format to determine the last two spots for the Copa Libertadores. In 2004, Mexico and Venezuela were granted automatic entries to the Copa Libertadores for the first time. The FMF decided to create a national qualifying tournament for its last two spots, and the first InterLiga was held that January, during the off-season of the Primera División.
