The IPWA Heavyweight Championship is currently 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. Since the IPWA Heavyweight Championship's inception in 2003, there have been ten different title holders, combining for fifteen championship reigns. 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.
