The International Ribbon Tag Team Championship is a professional wrestling tag team championship owned by the Ice Ribbon promotion. The championship was introduced on April 4, 2007, at an Ice Ribbon and NEO Japan Ladies Pro Wrestling co-promoted event, where the NEO Machineguns (Tanny Mouse and Yuki Miyazaki) defeated Aya Yuki and Ran Yu-Yu in the finals of a tournament to become the inaugural champions. Championship matches have a 20-minute time limit, and the title is vacated in the event of a time limit draw.[5] Though primarily contested for by female wrestlers, seven male wrestlers; Masako Takanashi, Chounko/Choun Shiryu, Yuki Sato, Jun Kasai, Isami Kodaka, Gentaro and Makoto Oishi, have also held the title.

Like most professional wrestling championships, the title is won as a result of a scripted match. There have been 34 reigns shared among 40 different wrestlers and 30 teams. Shishunki (Mio Shirai and Tsukushi) are the current champions in their first reign as a team.[1]

Muscle Venus (Hikaru Shida and Tsukasa Fujimoto) holds the record for most reigns as a team, with three.[6][7][8] Tsukushi holds the record for most reigns individually, with six.[1][9][10][11][12][13] Overall, there have been 34 reigns shared among 40 different wrestlers and 30 teams.
