Global Junior Heavyweight Tag League

The **Global Junior Heavyweight Tag League** is an annual round-robin tag team tournament held by Pro Wrestling NOAH since 2007. Originally known as the **Nippon TV Cup Jr. Heavyweight Tag League** and from 2011 until 2017 as the **NTV G+ Cup Junior Heavyweight Tag League**, the tournament was given its current name in May 2017.

The Global Junior Heavyweight Tag League is held under a round-robin system, with two points for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss. The teams finishing atop the points standings in the two blocks advance to the knockout stage, where the winner is determined in a head-to-head match. Matches in the Global Junior Heavyweight Tag League have a 30-minute time limit, which is the same as matches for NOAH's GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship. The 2013 NTV G+ Cup Junior Heavyweight Tag League was contested for GHC Jr Tag Team Champions and the winners were Jushin Thunder Liger and Tiger Mask.
