A vehicle body structure of a tailgate opening enhances rigidity and strength of a lower portion of an opening through a change in the vehicle body structure of a tailgate opening. The vehicle body structure includes: a D-pillar member configured to form a closed cross-section structure and vertically installed on each of both sides of a tailgate opening; and a transverse member installed in a lower portion of the tailgate opening in a left-right direction and including side portions at both ends of the transverse member. In particular, the side portions are inserted into a lower end of the D-pillar member such that the side portions are surrounded by and coupled to an inner surface of the lower end of the D-pillar member to form a closed cross-section structure.
