A team from the Mexican state of Sinaloa has qualified as the Zone champion for seven- consecutive years. Maya was the first Mexico Zone team to qualify in 1971, when it made it to the quarterfinals and lost 16-4 against Orange, California. A team from Mexico has been represented from 1971-76, 1979-80, and every year after 2008.
