Caravana de Campeones (May 2012) (Spanish for "Caravana of Champions") was an annual professional wrestling major event produced and scripted by Mexican professional wrestling promotion International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG), which took place on April 6, 2012 in Arena Naucalpan, Naucalpan, State of Mexico, Mexico. The events always feature multiple title matches, in this case three championships were defended and IWRG held a tournament to determine the next holder of the IWRG Intercontinental Middleweight Championship which was declared vacant in the weeks prior to the Caravana de Campeones show.
The May 2012 version of the event was the fourth overall show IWRG has held under the Caravana de Campeones banner. The event featured eleven professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds or storylines. Being a professional wrestling event matches are not won legitimately through athletic competition; they are instead won via predetermined outcomes to the matches that is kept secret from the general public.
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 April 2012 show was the fourth time IWRG has held a Caravana de Campeones show, having not held one in 2010 but held twice in 2012.
