DUW Australian Championship

The DUW Australian Championship  is a mid-tier title in Down Under Wrestling.

According to OWA Owner Trip Johnson, the championship's primary purpose was to help push newcomers into the mid-card or possibly main event levels of the company. Due to OWA's purchase of Future Bebo Wrestling and its assets, the championship traced its lineage through the now-retired FBW Trans-Tasman Championship.

As per the championship's original rules, wrestlers who had held the OWA World Heavyweight Championship weren't permitted to compete for this title. However, in April 2013, this rule was lifted and replaced with one that stated the champion must defend the title on a weekly basis. This rule has also since been removed.

Twenty-four men and two women have held this title, spanning 31 individual title reigns. The championship has been vacated four times and retired once. Matt Young holds the record for most reigns, winning his first and second titles under the Dash Rock and Demento ring names, respectively. The record for longest reign with the title is held by Bryan Daniels, who was champion for 182 days. The shortest reign record is held by Alex Johnson who lost the title just forty-five minutes after winning it.

On May 24, 2013, the championship was unified with the OWA Intercontinental Championship. Both titles remained active, however, and were collectively known as the OWA International Championship. The titles were split once again when then-champion Treth Crollins gave Greek Sunns the European Title as a birthday present.

On May 31, 2015, the championship was unified with the DUW Trans-Tasman Championship at When Worlds Collide, when Trans-Tasman Champion Jeff Palmer defeated European Champion Trip Johnson. Palmer decided to keep the European Title, rebranding it under the DUW banner. It would later become the DUW Australian Championship, to remain relevant to the company's geographical location.

The current champion is Cheyenne Star, who is in her first reign. She won an Open Invitation Ladder Match on April 10, 2016 to become the new champion.
