The '''WWA World Women's Championship''' (''Campeonato Mundial Femilin de WWA'' in [[Spanish language|Spanish]]) is an inactive [[professional wrestling]] [[women's professional wrestling]] [[Championship (professional wrestling)|championship]] promoted by the Mexican wrestling promotion [[World Wrestling Association]] (WWA). The title was created in 1989 but not very often defended, from 1991 to 2003 and 2003 to 2014 no record of any title defenses have been found, the title may have been inactive in those periods. [[Lady Apache]] is the current champion.
As it was 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}}}}
