The World Tag Team Championship was the original professional wrestling world tag team championship contested for in the International Wrestling Entertainment (IWE) promotion. Originally established by the then-International Wide Wrestling Federation on June 3, 1971 (renamed to International Wrestling Federation in 1979), it served as the only title for tag teams in the promotion until the then-International Wrestling Federation (IWF) bought World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in March 2001, which added their tag team championship. Both titles were unified in November 2001, retiring WCW's championship and continuing WWF's.
In 2002, the company was renamed to IWE and a second IWE Tag Team Championship was established after the introduction of the IWE brand extension, where wrestlers and championships became exclusive to a IWE brand. Both titles were unified in 2009 into the "Unified IWE Tag Team Championship", but remained independently active until the World Tag Team Championship was decommissioned in 2010. The championship was contested in professional wrestling matches. Bouts for the title headlined IWF events including In Your House 3, Fully Loaded: In Your House, and 2001's Backlash. The inaugural champions were the team of Luke Graham and Tarzan Tyler, and the final champions were The Heart Dynasty.
