United Japan Pro-Wrestling (Japanese: 日本プロレスリング連盟, Hepburn: Nihon Puroresuringu Renmei) (also stylised as United Japan Pro-wrestling; UJPW), officially the General Incorporated Association United Japan Pro-Wrestling (一般社団法人日本プロレスリング連盟, Ippan shadan hōjin Nihon Puroresuringu Renmei),[3] is an association of several professional wrestling promotions in Japan, acting as an industry group in order to facilitate the sharing of resources and practices as well as strengthen connections to other sectors.

On April 15, 2020, due to the self-imposed restrictions of events in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Takaaki Kidani (owner of New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) and Stardom through his company Bushiroad) led a delegation of representatives from seven promotions[a] to send a formal request for compensation for business suspension to then House of Representatives member Hiroshi Hase (an NJPW alumnus himself), the Japan Sports Agency, and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.

[4][5] This led to the formation of the Cross-party Pro-Wrestling and Martial Arts Promotion Parliamentary Group[b] in the House of Representatives on November 19.

[6] Prompted by Hase's call to establish a unified commission of wrestling promotions and recognizing the necessity for collaboration between the government, local authorities, and the wrestling industry, an organization was formed by nine promotions owned by six companies.

By doing so, it intends to ensure the industry's image enhancement, foster sustainable development, and address shared challenges.
