The House of Kalakaua, or the Kalakaua Dynasty, was the reigning family of the Kingdom of Hawai'i between the assumption of David Kalakaua to the throne in 1874 and the overthrow of Lili'uokalani in 1893.
The most important events during the reign of the House of Kalakaua were the promulgation of the Bayonet Constitution and the overthrow of the kingdom by the Committee of Safety led by former Interior Minister Lorrin A. Thurston.
With the abdication of Lili'uokalani's throne and the death of the Princess Victoria Kaiulani, the House of Kalakaua ceased to exist and was replaced by the House of Kawananakoa, organized by royal heir Prince David Kawananakoa.
