The NWA World Women's Championship is the National Wrestling Alliance's women's singles professional wrestling title. It is descended from the original Women's World Championship won by Mildred Burke in 1935 from Clara Mortensen. June Byers was then recognized as the succeeding champion after her two out of three falls match with Mildred Burke in 1954 went to a no contest. Subsequently, Byers was recognized as the NWA World Women's Champion, and Burke created the WWWA World Championship and was recognized as its first champion.^[1]

Upon June Byers's retirement in 1956, it was held primarily (and operated) by Lillian Ellison under her ring name, The Fabulous Moolah, who first won the championship in a battle royal in September 1956.^[2][3] In 1983, the title was sold by Ellison to the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), where it became the WWF Women's Championship.^[4] The World Wrestling Federation recognized Moolah as the reigning champion but did not recognize any of the title changes that had occurred since Moolah was first awarded the title.^[5] The NWA continued the title without Moolah after her title was renamed the WWF Women's Championship.

Moolah has held the title more than any other wrestler, with a total of five reigns. She also has the longest reign of 3,651 days. It is still defended in the NWA today,^[6] and the reigning champion is MsChif, who is in her second reign. Overall, 17 women have held the title for a total of 24 reigns.
