The GWC 6-Man Tag Team Championship (Japanese: GWC認定6人タッグ王座, Hepburn: GWC-nintei Roku-nin Taggu Ōza) was a six-person tag team title established in 2006 by the Japanese professional wrestling promotion Guts World Pro-Wrestling [ja].[1] After the promotion folded in 2018, the titles moved to Ganbare☆Pro-Wrestling, a sub-brand of DDT Pro-Wrestling.[2] In June 2021, the title went to Total Triumph Team Pro-Wrestling when Guts Ishijima became a nine-time champion.[3]

On May 21, 2022, the title was deactivated to be replaced with the TTT Indie Unified 6-Man Tag Team Championship.

Like most professional wrestling championships, the title was won as a result of a scripted match. There had been thirty reigns shared among fifty-one wrestlers and twenty-seven teams. Jun Masaoka, Kohei Kinoshita and Mataro Aoki were the last title holders.
