Hope International University was founded in 1928 as Pacific Bible Seminary. The school moved to a new campus in Long Beach in 1940, and in 1962 changed its name to Pacific Christian College. In 1973, having outgrown the Long Beach campus, the school moved to its current campus in Fullerton. The school adopted its current name in 1997.

After beginning a baseball program in 2016, the next year HIU went to the NAIA College World Series. The Royals have played in the Golden State Athletic Association since their inaugural season.

HIU plays its home games at nearby Duane Winters Field, in Amerige Park, owned by the City of Fullerton.
