All contestants competed in swimsuit and evening gown categories during the contest.

The Nuestra Belleza Mundo México pageant was held at the Salon Teotihuacan of the Centro Internacional de Convenciones Acapulco in Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico and was hosted by Raúl Velasco and Karina Velasco. It was the 2nd edition of the "Nuestra Belleza Mundo México" contest and as an official separate pageant to choose Mexico's representative to Miss World.
