The IronPigs have played at Coca-Cola Park in Allentown, Pennsylvania, since their inaugural season. In conjunction with the 2021 restructuring of the minor leagues, Lehigh Valley was placed in the new Triple-A East (AAAE) in 2021, but this league was renamed the International League in 2022.

Lehigh Valley has appeared in only one International League championship (2011) and has claimed one division title (2018), along with three wild card playoff berths. The team struggled in its early years, finishing last, or second-to-last in the division twice in its first three seasons. However, under manager Dave Brundage (2013–2016) and later Gary Jones (2018–2019, 2021), the IronPigs became a playoff contender for a while, partaking in three consecutive playoff appearances, losing to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders each time.
