World Tag League (NJPW)

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.

World 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.

The 2023 edition of the World Tag League took place from November 20 to December 10. The tournament returned to block format for the first time since 2017. It featured sixteen competing teams divided across two blocks. The first two placed teams of each block moved to the semifinals and the winners of those matches to the final.

2024

The 2024 edition of the World Tag League took place from November 19 to December 8. It featured sixteen teams divided across two blocks with the first placed teams of each block moving to the final. The league featured the debut of Callum Newman, Hiromu Takahashi, Boltin Oleg, and Bullet Club Rogue Army members Stevie and Tome Filip (collectively known as The Natural Classics).

On December 6, it was announced that Henare suffered an injury on his right knee, forcing him and The Great-O-Khan to forfeit, not only their B Block match against Tetsuya Naito and Hiromu Takahashi, but also their IWGP Tag Team Championships, leaving the January 4 bout and January 5 program with the Young Bucks uncertain. Furthermore, the teams of Toru Yano and Boltin Oleg, and Evil and Ren Narita won their respective matches, resulting that three teams ended up in a 10 points tie. Then was announced an impromptu Three Way Tag Team match to decide the winner of the B Block, that Naito and Takahashi won.

The winning team traditionally earns an IWGP Tag Team Championship match at Wrestle Kingdom. However, due to the situation around the IWGP Tag Team Championship, Tetsuya Naito and Hiromu Takahashi won't have a title match, instead they will face each other at Wrestle Kingdom 19.^[160] Furthermore, Tetsuya Naito & Hiromu Takahashi have been added to the IWGP Tag Team Championship match at Wrestle Dynasty.
