The ROH Anniversary Show was a professional wrestling event, held annually by the Ring of Honor promotion.

Although most years have seen a one-night celebration, the third year saw three events take place over two weekends. The fifth year went further and had five events in ROH's most popular venues, leading up to a sixth and final show in Liverpool, England across three weekends. In recent years, the Anniversary Show had become a two-night event, with a PPV broadcast followed the next day with TV tapings of the flagship Ring of Honor Wrestling program. [2] [3] All previous events were recorded and sold later on DVD.

The 18th Anniversary Show, which was scheduled to take place on March 13, 2020, was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Even the 20th Anniversary Show was not held due to ROH on hiatus before its eventual sale to Tony Khan in 2022. [4] [5]
