The WWWF United States Tag Team Championship was the first version of the main tag team title in the World Wide Wrestling Federation from 1963 until 1967. Originally, the WWWF was a member of the National Wrestling Alliance operating out of the Northeast and was called the Capitol Wrestling Corporation. The championship began as Capitol Wrestling's territorial version of the NWA United States Tag Team Championship from 1958 until 1963.

Reigns

Over the championship's nine-year history, there were 31 reigns between 23 teams composed of 36 individual champions and one vacancy. Don Curtis and Mark Lewin were the inaugural champions, while Bruno Sammartino and Spiros Arion were the final. As a team, The Golden Grahams (Eddie Graham and Dr. Jerry Graham) have the most reigns at four, while individually, Jerry has the most reigns at six. The Fabulous Kangaroos (Al Costello and Roy Heffernan) had the longest reign at 399 days for their third reign, while Sammartino and Arion have the shortest determinable reign at 5 days; The Golden Grahams possibly have the shortest reign at 2 days for their third reign, but the reign length is undeterminable, lasting anywhere from 2 days to 32 days.
