IWA World Heavyweight Championship (Australia)

The IWA World Heavyweight Championship (Australia) was a professional wrestling world heavyweight championship promoted by International Wrestling Australia (IWA), later known as International Wrestling Federation (IWF), from 1964 until the promotion's closure in the 1990s. The title was considered the top championship in the Australian territory during its existence. The championship's history is somewhat fragmented due to incomplete records and shifting ownership/promotion of the title. Numerous wrestlers held the championship, often for extended periods, reflecting the territory's focus on established stars. The title changed hands primarily within Australia, though foreign wrestlers occasionally held the belt. The lineage and exact dates of certain reigns are disputed and difficult to verify definitively due to the passage of time and lack of readily available, fully corroborated documentation.
