The IPWA Heavyweight Championship is the only professional wrestling championship in the Israeli Pro Wrestling Association promotion. At the end of 2002, Israeli professional wrestler Gery Roif announced a match between himself and Joey "The Moalm" Tylec to determine the first IPWA Heavyweight Champion.
From the IPWA Heavyweight Championship's inception in 2003,[1] until it closed in 2014, there were twelve different title holders, combining for sixteen championship reigns.[2] The title was retired in February 2008 when the promotion closed but in May 2009 the title became active once again with the promotion relaunching.
