The {{Lang|es|charreada}} is the national sport of Mexico. It is a display and contest of roping and riding with origins tracing to the cattle ranching life and culture of [[colonial Mexico]]. Over time, it became an event that included games, parades, foods, and contests involving humans, cattle, and horses. Following the Mexican Revolution of 1910, many rural Mexicans were displaced and took up residence in cities, where urban-based [[charro]]s and others formed associations to establish and refine the {{Lang|es|charreada}}.{{sfn|Candelaria|García|Aldama|2004|pp=126–128}}

During the [[Chicano Movement]] of the 1970s, Mexican Americans revitalized their heritage by establishing the event in the United States.{{sfn|Candelaria|García|Aldama|2004|pp=126–128}} The event historically enjoys greater prestige in Mexico, however, and due to animal cruelty concerns, some {{Lang|es|charreada}} events have been banned in the US.{{sfn|Candelaria|García|Aldama|2004|pp=126–128}} Unlike rodeos, most {{Lang|es|charreadas}} do not award money to the winners as {{Lang|es|charreada}} is considered an amateur sport, but trophies may be distributed. Until recently, the {{Lang|es|charreada}} was confined to men, but a women's precision equestrian event called the ''escaramuza'' is  the fourth in a total of ten events in a {{Lang|es|charreada}}. Unlike American rodeo, events are not timed, but judged and scored based on finesse and grace.{{sfn|Candelaria|García|Aldama|2004|pp=126–128}}

American rodeo in Mexico had its origins in the state of [[Chihuahua (state)|Chihuahua]] in the 1930s. By the mid-to-late 20th century, the sport gained ground in other parts of the country; mainly in the northern and central regions. [[Federación Mexicana de Rodeo|The Federación Mexicana de Rodeo]] (Mexican Rodeo Federation) was formed in 1992 as the leading organization of the sport in the country. The ''Campeonato Nacional de Rodeo'' (National Rodeo Championship), sanctioned by said organization and held consistently since 2000, has been held to determine the national champions in American rodeo. The annual event is held in the city of [[Chihuahua City|Chihuahua]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Chihuahua será sede del Campeonato Nacional de Rodeo 2023 en noviembre|url=https://www.elheraldodechihuahua.com.mx/local/chihuahua/chihuahua-sera-sede-del-campeonato-nacional-de-rodeo-2023-en-noviembre-10949709.html|website=El Heraldo de Chihuahua|access-date=September 7, 2024}}</ref>
