The '''Mexicana Universal''' is a national [[beauty pageant]] in Mexico held annually since 2018, replacing the former pageant, Nuestra Belleza México, held since 1994. Currently, the pageant is responsible for selecting the country's delegates to [[Miss Grand International]], [[Miss International]], [[Miss Charm]], [[Reina Hispanoamericana]] and Miss Orb International. The current Mexicana Universal is Melissa Flores of [[Michoacán]], who represented Mexico at [[Miss Universe 2023]] but was unplaced.
The organization is directed by the nation's first Miss Universe titleholder, [[Lupita Jones]] ([[Miss Universe 1991|1991]]), who originally produced the pageant as '''Nuestra Belleza México''' in association with the [[Televisa]] TV network. In October 2017, the organization parted ways with Televisa, and found a new home for the pageant's broadcasting in rival network [[TV Azteca]], rebranding the pageant due to televisa still owning the trademark, and changing the format. The organization has produced two Miss Universe winners ([[Miss Universe 2010|2010]], [[Miss Universe 2020|2020]]), two Miss International winners ([[Miss International 2007|2007]], [[Miss International 2009|2009]]), and three [[Reina Hispanoamericana]] winners (2008, [[Reina Hispanoamericana 2019|2019]], [[Reina Hispanoamericana 2021|2021]]).
==Contestants== Aspiring hopefuls, ranging from 18 to 27 years of age and a minimum height of {{height|m=1.68|precision=0}}, must fulfill the organization's additional requirements and consequently vie in their respective [[Administrative divisions of Mexico|state]] pageants for eligibility to participate in the national pageant. Contestants are permitted to compete for their sub-national beauty titles more than once. However, this can no longer be done once they have taken part in the national event. They may also choose to represent a different state, as long as they provide proof of having resided in it for at least the last twelve months before registration.
As of the year [[Nuestra Belleza México 2000|2000]]'s edition of the pageant, it is not uncommon for some states to have more than one delegate competing simultaneously. This occurs when non-winning hopefuls from select subdivisions are invited (designated) by the organization to partake in the nationwide competition, taking into consideration their potential, and to possibly make up for other states which may lack representation. Usually three or four are designated annually.
Once in the national concentration, the participants engage in various events and appearances prior to the crucial preliminary competition from which a number of semi-finalists are chosen, only to be announced during the final competition. Additionally, five special awards given through sub-challenges enable the recipients an automatic pass to the semi-finals. During the crowning night, the semi-finalists are evaluated by a panel of judges while vying in swimsuit and evening gown, with eliminations taking place after each of these rounds. The remaining contestants are subsequently interviewed, and the runners-up and winners are respectively announced at the conclusion of the Nuestra Belleza México telecast.
If any of the titleholders is unable to fulfill her duties, the next in turn, known as the ''suplente'' (substitute), assumes the right to represent the country abroad. The pageant is held a year prior to when the winners compete internationally, giving them sufficient time to prepare for their corresponding beauty events.
==Titleholders== Below are the names of the annual titleholders of Nuestra Belleza México/Mexicana Universal, the states they represented and the venue which played host to their crowning, in ascending order. Titleholders whose names appear highlighted went on to win a major international pageant.
