The Caravana de Campeones (2009), 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 March 15, 2008 in IWRG's main arena Arena Naucalpan. The 2009 event was the second overall show IWRG has held under the Caravana de Campeones banner.
The show featured a total of five matches, four of which were for championships. Los Terrible Cerebros successfully defended the Distrito Federal Trios Championship, Los Oficiales successfully defended the IWRG Intercontinental Trios Championship and the team of El Hijo del Cien Caras and Máscara Año 2000 Jr. retained the IWRG Intercontinental Tag Team Championship. Zatura defeated Tetsuya Bushi to win the IWRG Intercontinental Lightweight Championship, the only championship match that ended with a new champion.
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. Starting in 2008 the Mexican lucha libre promotion International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) has held a regular major show labeled Caravana de Campeones, Spanish for "Caravan of Champions" using the same concept for a major annual show. All Caravana de Campeones shows have been held in Arena Naucalpan, IWRG's home arena, the location of all of their major shows through the years. The 2009 show was the second time IWRG has held a Caravana de Campeones show.
