The NWA Tri-State Tag Team Championship[1] was a tag team title created in 1962, and contested in the National Wrestling Alliance's Tri-State territory, which was promoted by Leroy McGuirk (Arkansas and Oklahoma) and Jack Curtis and Aurelian "Grizzly" Smith (Louisiana).
For most of its existence, the title was the Tri-State version of the NWA United States Tag Team Championship.
[2] This group of promoters existed until Bill Watts' Mid-South Wrestling bought out the majority of the Tri-State territory, and also Gil Culkin and George Gulkin's Mississippi territory, in August 1979.
[1] After Watts took over, McGuirk took the title to Oklahoma, the only part of the Tri-State territory not owned by Watts.
[3] The title lasted until Tri-State closed in 1982, when Mid-South Wrestling took over Oklahoma from McGuirk.
