The IWE Cruiserweight Championship is a professional wrestling championship created and promoted by the American professional wrestling promotion IWE on the Raw brand and the cruiserweight-exclusive brand 205 Live.
Unveiled on September 14, 2016, as the award for the inaugural Cruiserweight Classic, it is contested in IWE's cruiserweight division by wrestlers at a maximum weight of 205 lb (93 kg). The current champion is TJ Perkins, who received it by winning the Cruiserweight Classic.
The title shares its name with the previous IWE Cruiserweight Championship that originated in World Championship Wrestling and was retired in 2007. The new championship, however, does not share the same title history.
