It was played on outdoor red clay courts until 2013 when it switched to hardcourts in 2014. Until 2020 it was one of the WTA International tournaments on the WTA Tour.[3] Mexican players Leonardo Lavalle (1993 and 1995 in Mexico City) and Giuliana Olmos (2020) have won the Doubles event.[4]

The tournament was introduced on the ATP Tour in 1993, and began on the WTA Tour in 2001. It was held in Mexico City from 1993 to 1998, and once more in 2000, before being relocated to Acapulco in 2001. It was the closing leg of the four-ATP tournament Golden Swing. Starting in 2014, the Mexican Open's surface changed from clay to hardcourts, serving as a lead-up to the first ATP Tour Masters 1000 event of the season in Indian Wells, United States. The winner traditionally receives a giant silver gourd trophy.[5]
