The IPW:UK Tag Team Championship was a professional wrestling tag team championship created and promoted by the English professional wrestling promotion International Pro Wrestling: United Kingdom. The inaugural champions was AK-47 (Ashe and Kris Linell) and they won the titles on July 7, 2005.[1][2][3]

The championship was originally established on 7 July 2005 as the IPW:UK Tag Team Championship.[1][2][3] At Weekend of Champions Night 2, AK47 (Ashe and Kris Linnell) defeated the Chav Army (Battalion and Flaming Red) in the finals of a tournament to become the inaugural champions.[3][4] On 4 May 2008 at IPW:UK Royale Rewards; the reigning IPW:UK Tag Team Champions The Kartel (Sha Samuels and Terry Frazier) defeated the reigning Real Quality Wrestling Tag Team Champions The Thrillers (Joel Redman and Mark Haskins) to unify both titles. The titles were renamed the IPW:UK British Tag Team Championships.[5][6][7]

In August 2012, then IPW:UK booker Andy Quildan left the company thus Revolution Pro Wrestling (RPW or RevPro) was founded. At RevPro Summer Sizzler 2012, Project Ego (Kris Travis and Martin Kirby) cashed-in their Money in the Bank briefcase to become the IPW:UK British Tag Team Champions.[8] After losing the titles on March 30, 2013; Project Ego continued to be recognized as the RPW British Tag Team Champions.[9]
