The NWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship is a professional wrestling championship owned by the Japanese Pro Wrestling Zero1 (Zero1) promotion. The title is meant for wrestlers under the weight limit of {{convert|100|kg|lb|abbr=on}}, referred to as "junior heavyweights" in Japan.{{cite web | url = http://www.f4wonline.com/component/content/article/2839/ | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20140204053747/http://www.f4wonline.com/component/content/article/2839/ | title = Pride of the UWFi or Searching for Kazushi | last=Lee | first=Alan | archivedate=February 4, 2014 | accessdate=May 10, 2013 | work=Wrestling Observer Newsletter}}

On July 11, 2011, then-NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion Craig Classic announced that he was relinquishing his title in protest over the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) stripping The Sheik of the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.{{cite web | url = https://www.f4wonline.com/more/more-top-stories/3-news/21333-tues-update-more-from-raw-drew-injury-update-cena-talks-chicago-punk-merch-raw-trending-smackdown-tonight-tna-releases-tons-more | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20110715012302/http://www.f4wonline.com/more/more-top-stories/3-news/21333-tues-update-more-from-raw-drew-injury-update-cena-talks-chicago-punk-merch-raw-trending-smackdown-tonight-tna-releases-tons-more | title = Tues update: More from Raw, Drew injury update, Cena talks Chicago, Punk merch, Raw trending, Smackdown tonight, TNA releases, tons more | archivedate=July 15, 2011 | date=July 12, 2011 | last=Alvarez | first=Bryan | authorlink=Bryan Alvarez | accessdate=May 10, 2013 | work=Wrestling Observer Newsletter}} However, on September 20, NWA affiliate Pro Wrestling Zero1 announced that they still recognized Classic as the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion. When Classic returned to the promotion on October 2, he was still in possession of the NWA title belt (which was the belt worn by the original Tiger Mask, Satoru Sayama, in the 1980s), which he went on to successfully defend against Munenori Sawa.{{cite web | url = http://zero1-news.blog.players.tv/article/48304249.html | title = NWA世界Jr王座防衛:クレイグ・クラシックが継続参戦 | date=October 3, 2011 | accessdate=May 10, 2013 | work=Pro Wrestling Zero1 | language=Japanese}}{{cite web | url = http://sportsnavi.yahoo.co.jp/fight/other/text/201110020002-spnavi_2.html | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20111006225717/http://sportsnavi.yahoo.co.jp/fight/other/text/201110020002-spnavi_2.html | script-title=ja:橋本大地が破壊王の元付き人・天山に完敗 | archivedate=October 6, 2011 | date=October 2, 2011 | accessdate=May 10, 2013 | work=Sports Navi | publisher=Yahoo! | language=Japanese}} Despite this being the first appearance of the new version of the title, Zero1 went as far as adopting the original title's history, referring to Classic as the 108th champion and his defense against Sawa as his 22nd successful defense. Meanwhile, NWA crowned their own NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion, Kevin Douglas, on October 7, meaning that there now were two champions supposedly holding the same title.{{cite web | url = http://www.f4wonline.com/more/more-top-stories/96-wwe/22503-mon-update-wwe-week-sonnen-fight-another-ufc-fighter-with-stips-wwe-network-wwe-video-game | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20111012102619/http://www.f4wonline.com/more/more-top-stories/96-wwe/22503-mon-update-wwe-week-sonnen-fight-another-ufc-fighter-with-stips-wwe-network-wwe-video-game | title = Mon. update: WWE week, Sonnen fight, Another UFC fighter with stips, WWE network, WWE video game | archivedate=October 12, 2011 | date=October 10, 2011 | last=Meltzer | first=Dave | authorlink=Dave Meltzer | accessdate=May 10, 2013 | work=Wrestling Observer Newsletter}} That same month, Zero1 quit the NWA and renamed all of their National Wrestling Alliance championships "New Wrestling Alliance" championships.{{cite web | url = http://www.wrestling-titles.com/japan/zero1/01-nwa-j.html | title = New Wrestling Alliance World Junior Heavyweight Title | accessdate=May 10, 2013 | work=Puroresu Dojo}}

Like most professional wrestling championships, the title is won as a result of a scripted match. There have been a total of twenty-four reigns shared among tewnty different wrestlers. The current champion is Takumi Baba who is in his second reign.
