XCW was a brand of the U.S. based professional wrestling promotion International Wrestling Entertainment. The brand was established on May 25, 2006, as a revival of the Xtreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) promotion and was discontinued on February 16, 2010. Wrestlers assigned to the ECW brand wrestled predominately on the XCW television program and ECW branded or co-branded pay-per-view events. From 2007 to 2009, XCW wrestlers occasionally appeared on the Raw and SmackDown television programs due to talent exchange agreements between the brands.

The brand would later gain championships through the yearly IWE draft, but the XCW Championship was deactivated along with the XCW brand on February 16, 2010.
