The Global Honored Crown (GHC) Tag Team Championship is a professional wrestling tag team title in Japanese promotion Pro Wrestling Noah. It was created on October 19, 2001, when Scorpio and Vader defeated Jun Akiyama and Akitoshi Saito in a tournament final.[1] Though it is typically contested among heavyweights (>100 kg (220 lb; 16 st)), some junior heavyweights such as Naomichi Marufuji and Yoshinari Ogawa have held it in the past. It is currently one of two tag team titles in Noah, along with the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship (reserved for junior heavyweights).

There have been a total of 68 reigns shared between 54 different teams, consisting of 61 different individual champions. The championships are currently vacated after previous champions, Team 2000X (Jack Morris and Omos) had Omos vacate his belt and give it to Daga, only for NOAH to not recognise the transfer
