contents We present the first data release of the Hawaii Infrared Supernova Study (\textit{HISS}), consisting of a large sample of near-infrared (NIR) spectra, $0.7 - 2.5 \mathrm{μm}$, obtained with the Keck-II/NIRES and IRTF/SpeX spectrographs. This sample is comprised of 90 NIR spectra of 48 transient events, spanning from hours after explosion to $\geq + 350$ days. Acquired over three years (2021-2024), this data release includes 17 Type Ia SNe, 15 Type II SNe, 8 Stripped Envelope SNe, 6 interacting SNe, 1 TDE, and 1 SLSN-I. These spectra were all systematically reduced using either the \textsc{Python}-based reduction code \textsc{Pypeit} or the \textsc{IDL}-based \textsc{Spextool} and constitute one of the largest NIR samples of transients available to the astrophysical community. We show the utility of NIR spectra and identify the key spectral features across multiple types of SNe. We show how both early-time and nebular-phase NIR spectra can be used to investigate the physics of the explosion, and to reveal the properties of the progenitor. With the addition of this dataset, the number of publicly available NIR spectra spanning multiple transient types has been substantially increased. In its next phase, \textit{HISS} will leverage target-of-opportunity spectral observations and NIR imaging from telescopes on Maunakea. Expanding the NIR dataset of SNe is vital to the transient community, particularly in light of the increasing emphasis on the infrared regime following the recent launch of the \textit{James Webb Space Telescope} and the forthcoming launch of the \textit{Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope}.
