Disclosed is a tape cartridge which contributes to shorten the time for sensing an RFID tag in the tape cartridge itself, and which makes it possible to sense the condition of the RFID tag. The tape cartridge includes a tape-shaped recording medium, an RFID tag for storing management information about the tape-shaped recording medium, a cartridge case containing the tape-shaped recording medium and the RFID tag, and an RFID tag sensing means making it possible to sense present of the RFID tag, the RFID tag sensing means being set in the cartridge case. In addition, the RFID tag sensing means includes two light-transmitting components for passing light therethrough, which are placed on a top surface of an upper half case of the cartridge case and on a bottom surface of a lower half case of the cartridge case, respectively, in alignment with the RFID tag.
