World Tag League (NJPW)

World Tag League trophy

The World Tag League (WORLDタッグリーグ[1], WORLD taggurīgu)[2] is a professional wrestling round-robin tag team tournament held by New Japan Pro-Wrestling as a spin-off of the popular singles tournament, the G1 Climax. It was created in 1991 as the Super Grade Tag League, as a continuation of a regular tag team tournament held since 1980, gaining the name G1 Tag League (G1タッグリーグ, G1 taggurīgu) in 1999. In 2012, NJPW's new owners, the Bushiroad company, renamed the tournament to its current form.[2] Since the tournament acquired its current name, the winning team earns the right to challenge for the IWGP Tag Team Championship at the following year's Wrestle Kingdom, assuming the team does not hold the title at the time of their victory.

G1 Tag League trophy

The World Tag League is held under a points system, with 2 points for a win, 1 for a time limit draw, and 0 for a loss, no contest or double decision. The current format, introduced in 2014, is essentially identical to that of the G1 Climax, with the top-scoring team from two blocks of eight advancing to the final.
