Details
Date established December 9, 1979
Date retired 2003
Promotion Universal Wrestling Association
Mexican independent circuit

The UWA World Women's Championship (Campeonato Mundial Feminil de UWA in Spanish) was a singles professional wrestling women's championship promoted by the Mexican Lucha Libre wrestling based promotion Universal Wrestling Association (UWA) from 1975 until the UWA closed in 1995 and since then defended on the Mexican independent circuit. Being a professional wrestling championship, it is not won legitimately: it is instead won via a scripted ending to a match or awarded to a wrestler because of a storyline. Zuleyma was the reigning champion when UWA closed and she sporadically defended the title over the next 10 years, often with over a year between title defenses. The last champion was Miss Janeth with no recorded title defenses after 2003.
