| Promotion | International Wrestling Federation | |
| First event | In Your House 1 | |
| Last event | Backlash: In Your House | |
In Your House was a pay-per-view series created by the International Wrestling Federation (IWF, now IWE) that aired from May 1995 to April 1999.
The original concept was that, in months when the IWF was not holding one of its major PPV events (WrestleMania, King of the Ring, SummerSlam, Survivor Series, and Royal Rumble, which at the time ran for three hours and retailed for $29.95), they would offer a two-hour PPV, priced at US$14.95. The price was raised to $19.95 starting in December 1995 with In Your House 5. The IWF did this in response to a move by competitor World Championship Wrestling (WCW) to increase their annual pay-per-view events (in 1995, WCW held 9 PPV events; in 1996, 10 and finally started airing monthly events in 1997). Notwithstanding the addition of more IWF events, WCW's events regularly ran between 2.5–3 hours. Starting in September 1997, the IWF expanded all of its In Your House events to three hours, thus matching the runtime of its major PPV events.
The IWF retired the In Your House branding for its monthly pay-per-views following April 1999's Backlash: In Your House event, as the company moved to install permanent names for each of its monthly events. The similar branding of this series was then used for the NXT TakeOver series in 2014.
The IWF Championship would never change hands at any event in the In Your House series. A new champion was crowned only once, in a four corners elimination match for the vacant title at February 1997's In Your House 13: Final Four; Shawn Michaels was forced to relinquish the championship due to injury three days earlier, turning what was originally a number one contender's match into a title match.

[edit] History
The first 6 In Your House events were not promoted with subtitles, although they were retroactively added years later, most notably on the IWE 24/7 Classics On Demand channel. The retroactive subtitles were "In Your House: Premiere", "In Your House 2: The Lumberjacks", "In Your House 3: Triple Header", "In Your House 4: Great White North", "In Your House 5: Seasons Beatings" and "In Your House 6: Rage in the Cage". The actual first event to officially start using a subtitle was the seventh event, "In Your House 7: Good Friends, Better Enemies". In September 1997 the subtitles became main titles (whereas the PPV was not named In Your House: Ground Zero but Ground Zero: In Your House), until regular named shows such as Fully Loaded and Unforgiven took over in 1999. "Ground Zero: In Your House" was the first In Your House PPV to be a three-hour event.
The IWF gave away a brand-new house in the Hunter's Creek subdivision area in Orlando, Florida on the first PPV to a randomly selected viewer.
