The World Wrestling Championships for Greco-Roman wrestling (men, since 1904) and freestyle wrestling (men since 1951, women since 1987) are organized by United World Wrestling (UWW).
Several World Greco-Roman Championships had been held prior to the creation of the International Amateur Wrestling Federation in 1921, the UWW considers those competitions as unofficial.
