This is a List of New Japan Pro-Wrestling of America events, detailing all notable professional wrestling cards promoted on pay-per-view (PPV), and NJPW World by New Japan Pro-Wrestling's (NJPW) United States-based subsidiary, "New Japan Pro-Wrestling of America" (NJoA), and its NJPW Strong brand; as well as other events promoted by NJPW in North America since 2019.
On October 21, 2019, NJPW announced the formation of an American subsidiary called "New Japan Pro-Wrestling of America". On July 31, 2020, NJPW announced a new weekly series titled NJPW Strong. As part of NJPW's expansion into the United States, the series would be produced by NJoA.
On January 30, 2023, NJPW announced that all of the promotion's future American events would be branded under the "Strong" name. NJoA PPVs have since aired under the NJPW Strong Live banner, and are later presented as part of the NJPW Strong on Demand series.
