The PWG World Championship is the top singles title in the Pro Wrestling Guerrilla professional wrestling promotion, which was established in 2003 as the PWG Championship. The title became known under its current name in February 2006, when PWG had a two-event European Vacation tour stopping in Essen, Germany and Orpington, England. The title has also been defended in Japan in the Dragon Gate promotion, as well as in the United Kingdom in 1PW and again on PWG's European Vacation II tour in Paris, France, Portsmouth, England and Essen, Germany. Bryan Danielson is the only individual to have held the PWG World Championship, FIP World Heavyweight Championship and the ROH World Championship.
