The tournament is contested in a single block round-robin format with all teams facing each other once.

In case of a draw through a double countout, the match is declared a no contest with neither team being awarded a point.〔 After all teams have faced each other, the top two teams move onto the finals to determine the winner of the tournament.〔 Rankings in the tournament are not determined by head-to-head matches and in the event of more than two teams finishing clear of the other teams, extra match(es) will be held to determine the finalists.〔 Usually, the winners of the tournament earn themselves a shot at All Japan's secondary tag team championship, the All Asia Tag Team Championship, if not already the reigning champions. Atsushi Aoki and Kaz Hayashi share the record for most Junior Tag League wins with three. Aoki and Hikaru Sato are the only team to have won the tournament more than once, having won it in 2014 and 2015. ==List of winners== *1984: Gran Hamada and Mighty Inoue *2002: Jimmy Yang and Kaz Hayashi *2006: Mazada and Nosawa Rongai *2008: Katsuhiko Nakajima and Ryuji Hijikata *2009: Minoru and Toshizo *2010: Bushi and Super Crazy *2011: Kai and Kaz Hayashi *2012: Kaz Hayashi and Shuji Kondo *2013: Atsushi Aoki and Kotaro Suzuki *2014: Atsushi Aoki and Hikaru Sato *2015: Atsushi Aoki and Hikaru Sato 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「AJPW Junior Tag League」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
