The '''IWRG Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship''' (''Campeon Intercontinental Peso Completo IWRG'' in [[Spanish language|Spanish]]) is a singles [[Championship (professional wrestling)|Championship]] in the [[Mexico|Mexican]] ''[[lucha libre]]'' ([[Professional wrestling]]) [[professional wrestling promotion|promotion]] [[International Wrestling Revolution Group]] (IWRG) and was introduced in 1997. It has since been defended throughout [[Mexico]], primarily in Naucalpan, but also in [[Japan]] as well.<ref name=Book>{{cite book|author=Royal Duncan & Gary Will|title=Wrestling Title Histories|publisher=Archeus Communications | chapter= MEXICO: IWRG Intercontinental Heavyweight Title|page=401|year=2000|isbn=0-9698161-5-4}}</ref> As the Championship is designated as a [[Lucha libre#Weight classes|heavyweight title]], it can only officially be competed for by wrestlers weighing at least {{convert|105|kg|lb|abbr=on}}.<ref name="WeightDivision">{{cite web|url=http://www.ordenjuridico.gob.mx/Estatal/ESTADO%20DE%20MEXICO/Reglamentos/MEXREG004.pdf|format=PDF|title=Reglamento de Box y Lucha Libre Professional del Estado de Mexico|author=Arturo Montiel Rojas|publisher=Comisión de Box y Lucha Libre Mexico D.F.|date=August 30, 2001|access-date=August 18, 2009|quote="Completo 105 kilos sin limite" (Heavy 105 kilos without limit) |language=es|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061130181418/http://www.ordenjuridico.gob.mx/Estatal/ESTADO%20DE%20MEXICO/Reglamentos/MEXREG004.pdf|archive-date=November 30, 2006}}</ref>

The current champion is [[Dr. Wagner Jr.]], who defeated [[DMT Azul]] for the championship on January 1, 2025. The first holder of the IWRG Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship was [[Pierroth Jr.]] who won the title on September 28, 1997 defeating [[Norman Smiley|Black Magic]] in the finals of an eight-man tournament.<ref name=Book/> There have been twenty-five recognized champions, combining for thirty-four total reigns. Máscara Año 2000 Jr. and Scorpio Jr. are tied for most championship reigns, with four each. [[Canek (wrestler)|El Canek]] holds the record for the longest individual reign 1,444 days (from May 5, 2006 to  April 18, 2010, although his reign had a long period of inactivity). Valletta's first reign lasted 11 days, the shortest of any champion.

As it is a professional wrestling championship, the championship was not won not by actual competition, but by a [[kayfabe|scripted ending]] to a match determined by the [[Booker (professional wrestling)|bookers and match makers]].{{efn|name=Hornbaker|''Hornbaker'' (2016) p. 550: "Professional wrestling is a sport in which match finishes are predetermined. Thus, win–loss records are not indicative of a wrestler's genuine success based on their legitimate abilities – but on now much, or how little they were pushed by promoters"{{sfn|Hornbaker|2016|p=550}}}} On occasion the promotion declares a championship vacant, which means there is no champion at that point in time. This can either be due to a storyline,{{efn|''Duncan & Will'' (2000) p. 271, Chapter: Texas: NWA American Tag Team Title [World Class, Adkisson] "Championship held up and rematch ordered because of the interference of manager Gary Hart"{{sfn|Duncan|Will|2000|p=271}}}} or real life issues such as a champion suffering an injury being unable to defend the championship,{{efn|''Duncan & Will'' (2000) p. 20, Chapter: (United States: 19th Century & widely defended titles – NWA, WWF, AWA, IW, ECW, NWA) NWA/WCW TV Title "Rhodes stripped on 85/10/19 for not defending the belt after having his leg broken by Ric Flair and Ole & Arn Anderson"{{sfn|Duncan|Will|2000|p=20}}}} or leaving the company.{{efn|''Duncan & Will'' (2000) p. 201, Chapter: (Memphis, Nashville) Memphis: USWA Tag Team Title "Vacant on 93/01/18 when Spike leaves the USWA."{{sfn|Duncan|Will|2000|p=201}}}}
