The International Wrestling Alliance (IWA) World Tag Team Championship was a professional wrestling tag team championship contested in the Japanese professional wrestling promotion International Wrestling Enterprise (国際プロレス興行, Kokusai Puroresu Kogyō). The IWA World Tag Team Championship was created in 1969 (replacing the TWWA World Tag Team Championship) and abandoned in 1981 upon the closure of the promotion.




History


International Wrestling Enterprise (IWE) was founded in October 1966 by Isao Yoshihara and Hiro Matsuda. The Trans-World Wrestling Alliance (TWWA) was created as the governing body for IWE. In 1967, IWE created the TWWA World Tag Team Championship, with the Fabulous Kangaroos being named the inaugural champions. The TWWA World Tag Team Championship was abandoned in 1968.
In 1968, Yoshihara formed the International Wrestling Alliance (IWA) with French promoter Roger Delaporte as a new governing body for IWE. In May 1969, IWE created the IWA World Tag Team Championship. IWE mainstays Strong Kobayashi and Toyonobori became the inaugural champions on May 18, 1969, defeating the Belgian wrestler Ivan Strogoff and the French wrestler Jean Ferré (substituting for Roger Delaporte) at an event staged in the Élysée Montmartre in Paris, France.
The titles were contended until IWE folded on September 30, 1981.
