Host nation Mexico, England and Italy participated in the tournament, with Italy winning. All matches took place at the Estadio Azteca, home of Mexico City-based clubs América, Cruz Azul and Necaxa. The three-nation mini-tournament was arranged as a preparatory exercise for Mexico, who would host the World Cup tournament the following year.
The final game of this tournament also served as the first game of the 1985 Azteca 2000 Tournament.
