The GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship is the secondary tag team championship in the Pro Wrestling NOAH (NOAH) promotion. that is contested in the junior heavyweight division. "GHC" is the acronym of NOAH's governing body, the Global Honored Crown. The title was created on July 16, 2003 when Naomichi Marufuji and KENTA defeated Jushin Thunder Liger and Takehiro Murahama in a tournament final. The GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship is not the only tag team title contested for in NOAH; the GHC Tag Team Championship is also sanctioned by NOAH. The title is contested for by junior heavyweight wrestlers; the weight-limit for the title is 100 kg (220 lb) per partner. All GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Title matches and contract signings were overseen and introduced by NOAH title commissioner Joe Higuchi until his death in October 2010 until he was replaced by Harley Race.
Overview
The title has been held and defended by teams outside NOAH, including New Japan Pro Wrestling, Dragon Gate and Ring Of Honor, and also defended in these promotions. Title changes happen mostly at NOAH-promoted events. Minoru Fujita and Ikuto Hidaka, a Pro Wrestling Zero1 (Zero1) tag team, defeated then-reigning champions Yoshinobu Kanemaru and Takashi Sugiura on March 5, 2006, at Navigate For Evolution 2006: Haruka Eigen Goodbye Tour on the tenth day. Their reign lasted until August 13, 2006, when they lost the titles back to Kanemaru and Sugiura at the NOAH Navigation. During that time, they had two successful defenses; held by Zero1 due to a pre-existing relationship and an agreement with NOAH. Their first defense in Zero1, was a match against Tatsuhito Takaiwa and Yoshihito Sasaki, occurred on April 13, 2006. On June 24, 2006, they made their second, and last, defense against STONED (Kagetora and Takuya Sugawara).
