The Caravana de Campeones (2008), Spanish for "Caravan of Champions", was a major professional wrestling show produced and scripted by the Mexican Lucha libre promotion International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG). The event took place on May 29, 2008 in IWRG's main arena Arena Naucalpan. and was the first documented instance of IWRG using the Caravana de Campeones title for one of their shows. It would subsequently become an annual event.
The 2008 Caravana de Campeones featured a total of six matches, five of which were for IWRG Championships, including determining the first ever holder of the IWRG Intercontinental Lightweight Championship, Freelance. During the show Los Oficiales (Oficial 911, Oficial AK-47 and Oficial Fierro) successfully defended the Distrito Federal Trios Championship and El Hijo del Cien Caras and Máscara Año 2000 Jr. retained the IWRG Intercontinental Tag Team Championship in the main event. On the undercard Fuerza Guerrera won the IWRG Intercontinental Welterweight Championship as he defeated champion Multifacético.
Professional wrestling has a long running tradition of holding shows that feature several championship matches, and at times actually promotes shows as an "all championship matches" show. The earliest documented "All-Championship" show is the EMLL Carnaval de Campeones ("Carnival of Champions") held on January 13, 1965. In 2007 WWE held a pay-per-view called Vengeance: Night of Champions, making WWE Night of Champions a recurring theme.
