Global Tag League
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. 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 the Victory Challenge Tag League. In the below results, (C) signifies the GHC Tag Team Champions at the time of each tournament.
