# Global Wars

Global Wars is a professional wrestling event that had been held annually by the American Ring of Honor (ROH) promotion since 2012. Originally named Border Wars, the event was renamed Global Wars in 2014 after ROH announced a partnership with the Japanese New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) promotion.
Under the new name, the event became a supershow co-produced by the two promotions. The first five were held at the Ted Reeve Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, while the sixth took place at the Frontier Fieldhouse in Chicago Ridge, Illinois. From 2012 to 2016, the event was held in May alongside War of the Worlds, but in 2017, Global Wars was moved to October and made a four-event tour across Buffalo, New York; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Columbus, Ohio; and Villa Park, Illinois. In 2018, the tour was again moved to November with a four-event tour across Buffalo, New York; Toronto, Ontario, Canada; Lowell, Massachusetts; and Lewiston, Maine.
In 2019, ROH announced a three-event tour with the Mexican Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) promotion as the new partner for the series, renamed Global Wars Espectacular. The events were held in the month of September and the chosen cities were Dearborn, Michigan; Villa Park, Illinois; and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
In 2025, ROH revived the "Global Wars" name for a co-promoted event with sister promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW) held in Australia.
