The Hawaii Stars were an independent professional baseball team based out of Hilo, Hawaii. They were charter members of the Pacific Association of Professional Baseball Clubs. They played their home games at Wong Stadium in Hilo and competed along with the Na Koa Ikaika Maui, San Rafael Pacifics, and Vallejo Admirals. They were also members of the North American League before that league folded in 2012. The Stars were managed by Garry Templeton Jr. son of former Major League All-Star Garry Templeton.[1]

The team shut down operations after playing the 2013 Pacific Association season due to the travel costs of bringing in the teams from Northern California.[2]
