The New Mexico Bowl is a NCAA sanctioned post-season bowl game scheduled played at University Stadium on the campus of the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The game between teams representing the Mountain West Conference and the Western Athletic Conference is televised on ESPN. The 2006 contest was the first bowl game played in New Mexico, pitting the MWC's New Mexico Lobos and the WAC's San Jose State Spartans. The Spartans won that game 20-12.

The game trophy is 20-inch piece of Zia Pueblo pottery, painted with Pueblo symbols, the New Mexico Bowl logo, and football players. Zia Pueblo is an Indian tribe from New Mexico. The Zia symbol, a Zia Pueblo symbol that is used in the state flag, is incorporated into the bowl game logo. The most valuable player trophies are crafted from traditional leather shields.[1]
