History
The title was first announced on May 18, 2011, as part of a storyline, where wrestlers from American promotion Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) invaded AAA. It was revealed that on June 18 at Triplemanía XIX AAA's Dr. Wagner Jr. would face TNA's Rob Van Dam for the newly created AAA Latin American Championship. No qualification matches took place prior to the match.[2][3] Wagner went on to defeat Van Dam in the main event of Triplemanía XIX to become the first champion.[4] The physical belt was designed and crafted by All Star Championship Belts.[5]

Overall, there have been 16 reigns among 16 champions and 5 vacancies. The inaugural champion is Dr. Wagner Jr., who defeated Rob Van Dam at Triplemania XIX on June 18, 2011.
