The {{nihongo|'''Triple Crown Heavyweight Championship'''|三冠ヘビー級王座|Sankan Hebīkyū Ōza}} is a [[professional wrestling]] [[Professional wrestling championship#World championships|world heavyweight championship]] in the Japanese [[All Japan Pro Wrestling]] [[Professional wrestling promotion|promotion]]. The current champion is Jun Saito, who is in his first reign.

== Title history ==
The championship was established after the unification of All Japan's then-flagship title, the [[PWF World Heavyweight Championship]], with the [[NWA United National Championship]] and the [[NWA International Heavyweight Championship]]. The titles were [[Championship unification|unified]] on April 18, 1989, when NWA International Heavyweight Champion [[Jumbo Tsuruta]] defeated the PWF World Heavyweight and NWA United National Champion [[Stan Hansen]].<ref name=pwi/>

Unlike most unified championships, the Triple Crown was originally represented through the continued use of the three individual [[championship belt]]s. From 1989 to 2000, the holder of the Triple Crown was also presented by [[Nippon TV]] (AJPW's broadcaster at the time) with a large, globe-shaped trophy bearing the words "World Heavyweight Champion". The original title belts were returned to All Japan founder [[Giant Baba]]'s widow Motoko in August 2013 and a new single title belt incorporating designs from the three original belts was made.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/prores/mens_prores/170444/|script-title=ja:全日「３冠ベルト」を馬場家に返還|date=August 7, 2013|access-date=August 7, 2013|work=[[Tokyo Sports]]|language=ja}}</ref> The new title belt, which featured three plates representing the three original title belts, was unveiled on October 27.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://battle-news.com/battle/2013/10/002008.php|script-title=ja:曙が諏訪魔を下し、新ベルトとなった三冠王座を奪取！健在だったファンクスにファン歓喜！ドリフは惜しくもアジアタッグに届かず！|date=October 27, 2013|access-date=October 28, 2013|work=Battle News|language=ja}}</ref> One of the plates includes the text "Jumbo Tsuruta Apr. 18 1989", representing the crowning of the inaugural champion.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/prores/mens_prores/366099/|script-title=ja:現３冠ベルトに刻まれた初代王者の名前|date=February 15, 2015|access-date=February 15, 2015|work=[[Tokyo Sports]]|language=ja}}</ref> There have been a total of 31 recognized champions who have had a combined 70 official reigns. Six men in history have held the championship for a continuous reign of one year (365 days) or more: [[Mitsuharu Misawa]], [[Suwama]], [[Kento Miyahara]] (who have each achieved the feat twice), [[Jumbo Tsuruta]], [[Satoshi Kojima]] and [[Toshiaki Kawada]].
