The Copa MX, formerly called Copa México and Copa Corona MX (for sponsorship reasons),[8] was the Mexican football cup tournament. The first season of the professional era was held in 1942–43. The cup tournament was not held in several years (1976–1988, 1992–1994, 1997–2012) and currently the competition has been paused since the 2019–20 edition. It was the first tournament that included teams from different parts of Mexico and was considered a prestigious competition, especially during its earlier years of existence. The purpose of the competition was to determine a national cup champion, thus distinguishing it from the national league championship. Its format was different from the local leagues as well, as it employed direct elimination and culminated in a final match.
In May 2012, Liga MX president Decio de María announced the return and rebranding of the tournament as Copa MX.[9]
