The Pacific West Conference (also known as the PacWest) is an intercollegiate college athletic conference affiliated with the NCAA’s Division II. The PacWest was formed in 1992 when the Great Northwest Conference merged the Continental Divide Conference, in response to new several member-departures and new NCAA legislation requiring confrences to have at least six members. Member institutions are located in the western United States in the States of Hawaii, Montana and New Mexico. The PacWest does not compete in football.

At one point the conference expanded to 16 members, but in 2001 member schools from Washington, Alaska, California, and Oregon left to form the new Great Northwest Athletic Conference. In 2005, the non-Hawaii schools left to join the Heartland Conference, leaving the Pacific West Conference two teams short of the NCAA membership requirement.
