The ROH World Tag Team Championship is a men's professional wrestlingworld tag team championship created and promoted by the American promotion Ring of Honor (ROH). Establish on September 21, 2002, it is the company's traditional tag team title, contested between teams of two wrestlers, and the inaugural champions were The Prophecy (Christopher Daniels and Donovan Morgan). In addition to being in ROH, the championship is also occasionally defended on All Elite Wrestling's (AEW) programs, as AEW and ROH are both owned by Tony Khan. The current champions are La Facción Ingobernable (Sammy Guevara and The Beast Mortos), who are in their first reign as a team, but first for Mortos and third for Guevara individually. They won the vacant title by defeating "Dynamite Kid" Tommy Billington and Adam Priest at Final Battle on December 5, 2025; the previous championship team of Guevara and Rush vacated the title due to Rush suffering a knee injury.
The ROH Tag Team Championship was introduced at Unscripted on September 21, 2002, where ROH held a tournament to crown the first champions. At the time, ROH did not have title belts, and instead presented Christopher Daniels and Donovan Morgan (The Prophecy), the winners of the tournament, with a trophy.[1][2]
1 ^ Neither team was able to compete after being attacked by The Carnage Crew before the start of their scheduled match.

The sixth design of the ROH World Tag Team Championship from years 2018 to 2022 is sort of like a circle like repetitive round crown on all five plates of the belt that is gold with red and silver diamonds all around the center and side plates (two side plates per side equaling to four side plates total) with also gold wording in the middle with black outlining on them and on the side of the belts plates that say ROH Tag Team but in the main middle center plate separating it from the sides has the extra words World and champions in the middle.[11]
