Global Tag League

Professional wrestling tournament


The Global Tag League is a professional wrestling round-robin tag team tournament held by Pro Wrestling Noah. It was created in 2008.

The Global Tag League is held under a points system, with two points for a win, one for a time limit draw and none for any other kind of a draw or a loss.[1] The team finishing atop the points standings are the winners. Matches in the Global Tag League have a 30-minute time limit, which is the same as matches for Noah's GHC Tag Team Championship.

The tournament returned in 2024 after a four year break rebranded as Victory Challenge Tag League.
