It was created in 1991 as the '''Super Grade Tag League''', as a continuation of a regular tag team tournament held since 1980 known various as the '''MSG{{Notetag|Madison Square Garden}} Tag League''', '''IWGP Tag Title League''', or '''Japan Cup Tag League'''. It gained the name {{Nihongo|'''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.<ref name=WorldTagLeague/> Since the tournament acquired its current name, the winning team earns the right to challenge for the IWGP Tag Team Championship, assuming the team does not hold the title at the time of their victory.

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.

==2023== 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. The League featured the debut of Mogul Embassy's Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona (collectively known as Gates of Agony), CMLL's Zandokan Jr., Atlantis Jr. and Soberano Jr., Alex Zayne, former Young Lions Yuya Uemura, Yota Tsuji, Ren Narita and Ryohei Oiwa, Guerrillas of Destiny's Hikuleo and El Phantasmo (at the time holders of the Strong Openweight Tag Team Championship), Bullet Club's Rogue Army member Jack Bonza and Pro Wrestling Noah's Kaito Kiyomiya.

The winning team advanced to an IWGP Tag Team Championship match at Wrestle Kingdom 18. Since Bishamon (Hirooki Goto and Yoshi-Hashi) were the reigning champions and the winners of the Tag League they got the privilege to choose their challengers, which were Guerrillas of Destiny (Hikuleo and El Phantasmo) as their opponents with GoD's Strong Openweight Tag Team Championship also on the line.

==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 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 wouldn't have a title match; instead, they faced each other at Wrestle Kingdom 19.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/tetsuya-naito-bout-official-njpw-wrestle-kingdom-19|title=Tetsuya Naito Bout Official For NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 19|work=Fightful|access-date=December 8, 2024}}</ref> Furthermore, they were added to the IWGP Tag Team Championship match at Wrestle Dynasty, which they lost.
