NWA Shinya Hashimoto and Naoya Ogawa (3 days) The Intercontinental Tag Team Championship, also known as the NWA Intercontinental Tag Team Championship, is a professional wrestling tag team championship in Japanese promotion Pro Wrestling Zero1, typically reserved for (but not exclusive to) heavyweight (100 kg) wrestlers. It was created on June 14, 2001, three months after then Pro Wrestling Zero-One's creation, when Samoa Joe and Keiji Sakoda (though Zero1 has since ceased to recognize both their reign as well as the following reign by Steve Corino and Mike Rapada) defeated Yuki Ishikawa and Katsumi Usuda. The championship was created when Zero-One was a member of the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA); since Zero-One departed from the NWA in late 2004, the NWA does not recognize or sanction it, though it retains the NWA initials. It is one of two tag team titles currently active in Zero1, along with the Blast King Tag Team Championship, a specialty title defended exclusively in explosion matches.

There have been a total of 58 recognized individual champions and 47 recognized teams, who have had a combined 52 official reigns. The current champions are Kubota Brothers (Yasu Kubota and Hide Kubota) who are in their second reign as a team as well as individually.
