The Future of Stardom Championship (フューチャー・オブ・スターダム王座 Fyūchā Obu Sutādamu Ōza) is a championship in the World Wonder Ring Stardom (Stardom) promotion. The title was introduced on February 18, 2018, and the inaugural champion was crowned on March 28, when Starlight Kid defeated Shiki Shibusawa in the finals of an five-woman single-elimination tournament. Initially, in order for a wrestler to challenge for the title, they must have been under twenty years old or have less than two years of experience in professional wrestling. But on December 20, 2020, the experience level requirement for the title was changed from two years to less than three years of wrestling experience, regardless of the wrestler's age.
Vacant championship tournament (2021)[]
Due to Saya Iida relinquishing the title after suffering an injury, a seven-woman tournament to crown a new champion was announced to kick off on the second night of the 2021 Cinderella Tournament on May 14, 2021 and culminated on July 4 at Yokohama Dream Cinderella 2021 in Summer.
