The Iowa Cubs are a Minor League Baseball team of the Pacific Coast League (PCL) and the Triple-A affiliate of the Chicago Cubs. They are located in Des Moines, Iowa, and play their home games at Principal Park, which opened in 1992. The team was originally known as the Iowa Oaks when it was established as a member of the Triple-A American Association in 1969. The Cubs took on the moniker of their major league affiliate in 1982 and joined the PCL in 1998. Their only league title in franchise history is the 1993 American Association championship.

Prior to 1981 the then-Oaks had Major League affiliations with the Chicago White Sox (1973-74, 1976-80), Houston Astros (1975), and Oakland Athletics (1969-72).
