ROH World Tag Team Championship

File:Christopher Daniels 2011.jpg.]]

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.{{cite web|url=http://www.411mania.com/wrestling/video_reviews/38747/Dark-Pegasus-Video-Review:-Ring-of-Honor---Unscripted.htm|title=Dark Pegasus Video Review: Ring of Honor – Unscripted| author=J.D.

Since originating in 2002, the title belts were introduced in 2003 and redesigned in 2005, 2010, 2012, 2018, and 2023. On March 31, 2023, the sixth belt design debuted at Supercard of Honor.{{Cite web |last=Staff |first=Www.thesmackdownhotel.com |title=ROH World Tag Team Championship |url=https://www.thesmackdownhotel.com/title-history/roh/roh-world-tag-team-championship |url-status=live |access-date=January 7, 2025 |website=Www.thesmackdownhotel.com}}{{cite news |last1=Tessier |first1=Colin |title= New ROH World Tag Team Champions Crowned At ROH Supercard Of Honor |url=https://www.wrestlezone.com/news/1362362-new-roh-world-tag-team-champions-crowned-at-roh-supercard-of-honor |access-date=April 2, 2023 |work=Wrestle Zone |date=March 31, 2023}}

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.
