Himeka with the Goddesses of Stardom Championship

The Goddesses of Stardom Tag League are held under a multi-point system. Two points for a win, one for a time-limit draw, and none for any other kind of loss. The team finishing atop the points standings are considered the winners of their respective blocks. The winners of the final match between both block winners will be considered the champions. All the matches in the tournament have a 20-minute time limit. The tournament was previously known as the Goddesses of Stardom Tag Title League until 2012 when it was also disputed for the Goddesses of Stardom Championship. From 2012 to date, the winners of the tournament only receive the right to challenge for the titles as number one contenders.

The first winners of the league were Yoko Bito and Yuzuki Aikawa who won the tournament on July 27, 2011, also being crowned the inaugural Goddesses of Stardom Champions.[2][3] Kairi Hojo, Yoko Bito, Nanae Takahashi and Momo Watanabe share the record for the most individual victories with two, with different partners.

Summarize
Perspective

The Goddesses of Stardom Tag League is a professional wrestling tournament held each autumn by Stardom. Similar to Bushiroad-owned male counterpart New Japan Pro-Wrestling with the World Tag League or the Super Junior Tag League. It is currently held as a round-robin tournament with wrestlers split into two pools. The winners of each pool will compete in the final to decide the winner. As is the case with the NJPW World Tag Leagues, a win is two points and a draw is one point for each wrestler.

There have been a total of twelve editions of the tournament from which twelve teams emerged as winners, being composed of twenty distinctive wrestlers.
