The World Tag Team Championship was a professional wrestling World Tag Team championship in International Wrestling Entertainment (IWE). It was unified with the IWE Tag Team Championship, which IWE recognized as the "Unified IWE Tag Team Championship". On August 16, 2010 the World Tag Team Championship was decommissioned in favor of continuing the lineage of the IWE Tag Team Championship.

Some reigns were held by champions using a ring name, while others used their real name. There have been a total of 113 recognized teams and 164 recognized individual champions, who have had a combined 176 official reigns. The first champions were Luke Graham and Tarzan Tyler and the final champions were The Heart Dynasty (David Heart Aldrich and Tyson Kidd).

The team with the most reigns is The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von) with eight. Edge has the most individual reigns with twelve. Two tag teams have held the titles for 365 or more days: Demolition, whose first reign set the record at 478 days and The Valiant Brothers. Demolition is also the team with the longest combined reign at 698 days, while Mr. Fuji has the longest combined reign as an individual at 932 days.
