Founded in 1982, the eight-member NorPac Conference competes at the NCAA Division 1 level in field hockey. At the end of the 2001 season, two NorPac teams were ranked in the NCAA top 20. Entering the 2008 season, the NorPac Conference is comprised of seven teams, Appalachian State, California, Davidson, Longwood, Pacific, Radford and Stanford. After fulfilling NCAA reclassification requirements, Longwood became eligible for its first conference tournament in 2007 and hosted the 2008 NorPac Championship Tournament.

In July 2008, the conference announced the addition of UC Davis as its newest member. The Aggies will be eligible to compete in a full conference schedule, including the NorPac tournament, starting in 2009-10.

In 2010, all eight institutions will compete in the NorPac Conference Championship Tournament on November 4-6 at Davidson College. The NorPac Tournament Champion will advance to an NCAA play-in game against the winner of the Atlantic 10 Conference on November 9th, with the winner advancing to the NCAA tournament.
