The APW Tag Team Championships were introduced on November 20, 1996, when Michael Modest and Steve Rizzono became the first to win the titles. They defeated Frank Dalton and Joe Applebaumer in the finals of an eight team tournament to win the titles.

On December 14, 2011, All Pro Wrestling announced that they had come to terms with Vendetta Pro Wrestling to recognize the Vendetta Pro Tag-Team Championship, and to have them defended in both Vendetta Pro and in APW as the "Unified" Tag Team Titles. The titles were defended for the first time in APW on January 14, 2011, as champions Greg Hernandez and Jesse Jimenez defended against APW's team of Jody Kristofferson and Dalton Frost. Since then, the APW/Vendetta Pro Unified Tag Team Champions will often wear one Vendetta Pro title belt along with one APW title belt.

This relationship came to an end in 2014 when Vendetta Pro returned to having their own set of tag belts, following this the APW would reinstate the championships.

As of February 13, 2025, there have been 39 reigns among 32 teams and 44 wrestlers with eight vacancies. The inaugural champions were Michael Modest and Steve Rizzono. Reno Scum (Adam Thornstowe and Luster The Legend), Classic Connection (Buddy Royal and Levi Shapiro), and Lion Power (Marcus Lewis and Will Hobbs) have the most reigns as teams with three. Robert Thompson and Tony Jones have the most reigns individually with five. Reno Scum have the longest combined reigns, as a team/individual wrestlers, at 860 days. War Beast (Jacob Fatu and Josef Samael) have the longest singular reign, as a team/individual wrestlers, at 996 days. Original Westside Playaz (Robert Thompson and Tony Jones) have the shortest reign, as a team/individual wrestlers, at less than a day. Reno Scum and Classic Connection have the most combined defenses, as a team/individual wrestlers. with ten. EGO (AJ Kirsch and Nathan Rulez), The Westside Playaz 2000 (Boyce LeGrande and Robert Thompson), and Immortal Fear (Billy Blade and Kaden) have the most defenses over a singular reign, as a team/individual wrestlers with ten.

The current champions are Cory Dayton and Frank Lee Gorgeous.
