About this record

Best Norteño Album was first awarded in 2009, so it does not run the full 1959–2025 window.

It was awarded for the last time in 2011.

Norteño records competed in the Mexican/Mexican-American category before this award was split off.

From 2012 the Grammys awarded Best Banda or Norteño Album instead.
