Global Junior Heavyweight Tag League Explained

The Global Junior Heavyweight Tag League is an annual professional wrestling round-robin tag team tournament held by Pro Wrestling Noah since 2007. Originally known as the Nippon TV Cup Jr. Heavyweight Tag League and from 2011 until 2017 as the NTV G+ Cup Junior Heavyweight Tag League,[1] the tournament was given its current name in May 2017. After a hiatus in 2020, the tournament was brought back in 2021, with a switch in focus from tag teams, to teams of 4.

The Global Junior Heavyweight Tag League is held under a round-robin system, with two points for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss. The teams finishing atop the points standings in the two blocks advance to the knockout stage, where the winner is determined in a head-to-head match. Matches in the Global Junior Heavyweight Tag League have a 30-minute time limit, which is the same as matches for Noah's GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship.

2022

From 6-7 January, Noah held the inaugural N Innovation U-Cup. It would be contested by the same 4 units who competed last year, only with Dragon Gate's Eita replacing Ikuto Hidaka on the Perros del Mal de Japon team. The format was different, with unit members competing in a tag team match, a Rumble, a six-man tag team match and an elimination 4 way match. For every win a team or individual gets, their unit earned 2 points. A draw would result in a point each. In the case of a points draw, the team who won their head-to-head tag team match would advance.The top two units would advance to a 4v4 Elimination Tag Team Match final, where each team would start with two of their members in the match. When one was eliminated, another one would enter the match to replace them. When a team was down to one wrestler only, they lost the match.[27]
