As of today, New Day have been WWE Raw Tag Team Champions for 479 days, making them the longest reigning World or WWE Tag Team Champions in company history. No question it's impressive and it's a record that will probably not be broken for decades. Don't be surprised 20 years or so down the line if it's not the foundation, or a significant part of it at least, for New Day being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as a group.
However, if you want to be absolutely technical about it, New Day's WWE Tag Team Championship reign really only amounts to the 3rd longest run of any tag team title in company history. From May of 1983 through February of 1989, a relatively obscure title known as the WWF Women's Tag Team Championship existed. The longest reign in the history of the title lasted from sometime in August of 1985 to January 24, 1988; I don't know when the exact date was in August, so it puts the overall reign length somewhere in the general vicinity of 900 days. The wrestlers who held said title were Judy Martin and Leilani Kai and they were billed as The Glamour Girls.
The second longest run with the title was held by the inaugural champions Velvet McIntyre and Princess Victoria, which lasted from May 13, 1983 to December 7, 1984, which is a length of 574 days. Victoria suffered a severe neck injury that ended her career and she was replaced with Desiree Peterson and she held the title with McIntyre for another 237 days.
Not tryin' to crap all over New Day or to take away anything they've accomplished. They are the longest reigning male champions of any male oriented tag team title in company history and the WWF Women's Tag Team Championship wasn't exactly a major factor in the company during its existence. It's just that if New Day is to truly have THE undisputed longest reigning tag team title reign in company history, they'd need to hold the strap for another 425 days or so.
