Rio Grande Plate
The Rio Grande Plate () was a competition between Tigres UANL and FC Dallas. The winners received a Plate, and it was awarded each year to the winner of the total aggregate goals difference between the teams in a home-and-away series.
The plate was created in February 2006 as part of the multi-year partnership with Tigres and FC Dallas. The plate is named after the Rio Grande. The river, which is known in Mexico as the "Rio Bravo del Norte" ("Bold River of the North"), forms a continuous border between the U.S. and Mexico.
