Tag League the Best#1985
__NOTOC__
The {{nihongo|Tag League the Best|タッグリーグ・ザ・ベスト|Taggu Rīgu Za Besuto}} was an annual professional wrestling tag team tournament, founded by All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling (AJW), which held it from 1985 to 2004 (with no tournament taking place in 1990). After the folding of AJW in 2005, the tournament was adopted by its one-time rival and later associate promotion, JWP Joshi Puroresu, which held it annually from 2011 to 2016.
The tournament is usually held under round-robin rules with only the 2004 and 2016 tournaments having been held in a single-elimination format. The tournament's points system has varied throughout the years. From 1985 to 1992, a win was worth one point, a draw half a point and a loss zero points. From 1993 onwards a win has been worth two points, a draw one point and a loss zero points. When JWP took over promoting the tournament in 2011, it was moved to the beginning of the year from its usual position at the end of the year. JWP was also the first to introduce two round-robin blocks in the tournament instead of the usual single block system used by AJW. In AJW, the winners usually received a shot at the WWWA World Tag Team Championship, were they not already the reigning champions, while in JWP the tournament was used to determine the number one contenders to the unified Daily Sports Women's and JWP Tag Team Championships.
Due to the tournament's unusual name, it has sometimes been referred to as "The Best Tag (Team) League" by English language reporters,{{cite web | url = http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/japan/women/ajw/tag80.html | title = AJW The Best Tag League 1980s | accessdate=March 31, 2013 | work=Pro Wrestling History}}{{cite web | url = http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/japan/women/ajw/tag90.html | title = AJW The Best Tag League 1990s | accessdate=March 31, 2013 | work=Pro Wrestling History}}{{cite web | url = http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/japan/women/ajw/tag00.html | title = AJW The Best Tag League 2000s | accessdate=March 31, 2013 | work=Pro Wrestling History}}{{cite web | url = http://www.pwinsider.com/article/51673/this-day-in-history-ultimo-dragon-wins-eight-belts-in-one-match-savage-vs-lawler-and-more.html?p=1 | title = This day in history: Ultimo Dragon wins eight belts in one match, Savage vs. Lawler and more | last=Woodward | first=Buck | date=October 11, 2010 | accessdate=March 31, 2013 | work=Pro Wrestling Insider}}{{cite web | url = http://www.pwinsider.com/article/74207/1223-this-day-in-history-homicide-wins-roh-title-the-final-event-for-the-original-ecw-in-the-ecw-arena-and-more.html?p=1 | title = 12/23 This day in history: Homicide wins ROH title, the final event for the original ECW in the ECW Arena and more | last=Johnson | first=Mike | date=December 23, 2012 | accessdate=March 31, 2013 | work=Pro Wrestling Insider}} however, the tournament's Japanese promoters have always called it "Tag League the Best".
Manami Toyota holds the record for most Tag League the Best wins with five, all with different partners. No tag team has been able to win the tournament twice. Madusa Miceli is the only non-Japanese wrestler to be part of a winning team in the tournament.

2011
Following the folding of AJW in 2005, Tag League the Best was dead for six years, before being picked up by JWP, which held its first tournament, overall the twentieth, between January 16 and March 6, 2011. The tournament featured eight teams split between two blocks, dubbed "Blue Zone" and "Red Zone". Due to a three-way tie at the top of the Blue Zone, February 20 saw two matches taking place between the three teams to determine who would get to face the winner of the Red Zone in the finals. During the opening day of the tournament, Kayoko Haruyama and Tsubasa Kuragaki put their Daily Sports Women's Tag Team Championship on the line in their match against Hailey Hatred and Kaori Yoneyama. Haruyama and Kuragaki entered the tournament as not only the Daily Sports Women's Tag Team Champions, but also as the JWP Tag Team Champions, and as they were able to win the tournament it did not result in any direct title matches.
