The rally was the third round of the 2013 World Rally Championship season, and marked the fortieth anniversary of the World Rally Championship. Thirteen World Rally Car crews were entered in the event. It was the first WRC event since the 2006 Rally GB where reigning World Rally Champion Sébastien Loeb has not featured on the entry list as he elected not to enter Rally México as part of his four-race 'retirement' season. Loeb has won every Rally México since 2006. Since there is no previous Rally Mexico winner competing in the 2013 event, it is guaranteed that there will be a new winner.
