The Pacific Wrestling Federation (World) Tag Team Championship was a professional wrestling tag team championship in All Japan Pro Wrestling, created in 1984. It was unified with the NWA International Tag Team Championship in 1988, to create the AJPW Unified World Tag Team Championship, or Double Cup[1].
