Tigres de la Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León (or simply Tigres UANL) is a Mexican professional football club based in San Nicolás, Nuevo León. The club has participated in a total of 19 international tournaments across CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, and FIFA.

At the international level, Tigres has won the CONCACAF Champions Cup/League once, in the 2020 edition; in previous years, the team had lost three finals. Outside of CONCACAF, they were the third club from Mexico to appear in a Copa Libertadores final (2015), following Cruz Azul in 2001 and Guadalajara in 2010.[1]
