The All Pacific Championship was the secondary singles women's professional wrestling title in All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling or AJW. The belt was started as the Hawaiian Pacific Championship in 1977 and was renamed the All Pacific Championship in 1978.
On August 31, 1977, Jane O' Brien defeated Maki Ueda to become the first Hawaiian Pacific Champion. The belt was created as a homeage to the first overseas tour of AJW, which took place in Honolulu (HI). Yumi Ikeshita was officially recognized the first champion after defeating 'O Brien on September 1, 1977.
The first physical belt was created after a meeting between Rossy Ogawa and Mildred Burke in Los Angeles (CA). Sanctioned by AJW's WWWA, the belt was replaced by a second version made to fit Mimi Hagiwara's waist.
