The first NORCECA championship took place in Mexico in 1969 and the hosts were only defeated in the final against Cuba . In 1971 the Mexicans finished third, but when the title fights were held again in front of their own audience two years later, they didn't make it into the medal ranks in fifth. In 1975 and 1977 there were two more lost finals against Cuba and in 1979 a third place. After that, the Mexicans finished fourth twice before they were absent for the only time in 1985. From 1987 to 1999 they were always in fifth and fourth place. In 2001 they finished sixth, and in 2003 fourth again. At the tournaments in 2005 and 2007 there were places six and seven.
