The AJPW Jr. Tag Battle of Glory was a men's pro wrestling tournament held periodically by All Japan Pro Wrestling.
The competition was established on August 30, 1984, and the first edition was won by Gran Hamada and Mighty Inoue , while the last edition took place on May 4, 2023 and was won by Kotaro Suzuki[2] & Kaito Ishida.
