The World's Strongest Tag Team League (Sekai Saikyo Taggu Rigu), more commonly known in the West as the Real World Tag Team League , is a professional wrestling tournament run yearly by All Japan Pro Wrestling since 1977. The tournament is usually run on the first weeks of December. The first tournament was actually called the Open Tag League, but it was renamed to its present name the following year.

The name "Real World Tag League" was a mistranslation by AJPW promoter Giant Baba; "saikyo" in Japanese means "strongest," not "real", but Baba used Engrish for promotional material.

From 1988 to 1994 and in 2002 the tournament was used to fill the vacancy in the AJPW World Tag Team Title.
