The championship cannot be competed for by anyone who is over the Cruiserweight division weight limit of 105 kg (231 lb).[1] Traditionally this division is labelled as the "Junior Heavyweight" division in Mexico while "Cruiserweight" is a term more used in the United States or Canada.

The championship was originally named the AAA Cruiserweight Championship. but had the word "world" added to the name after El Hijo del Fantasma won a match on August 17, 2014, that unified the championship with the AAA Fusión Championship.[2] A total of fourteen men have held the championship for a total of sixteen different title reigns.

The current champion is Matt Riddle, who is in his first reign. He won the title by defeating defending champion Komander and Laredo Kid at Triplemanía XXXII: Mexico City on August 17, 2024.
