:Racecourse Ground

Wrexham Football Club have played at the Racecourse Ground since being formed in the local Turf Hotel public house in October 1864. However, due to an increase in rent from the then owners, Wrexham Cricket Club, Wrexham played their home games in the 1881–82 and 1882–83 seasons at the Recreation Ground in Rhosddu, while also changing their name to Wrexham Athletic for one season. Before the club was formed, the ground was mainly used for cricket and, occasionally, horse racing.{{cite news | url=http://www.wrexhamafc.co.uk/club/history/ | work=Wrexham FC | title=History | date=6 December 2012 | access-date=6 December 2012 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121215212034/http://www.wrexhamafc.co.uk/club/history/ | archive-date=15 December 2012 | url-status=live }}

The Racecourse was used extensively for aviation before the First World War, with Gustav Hamel performing public displays in August 1912 and June 1913. Wrexham Borough Council considered making the racecourse the town's municipal airport, but that was later developed at Borras.{{Cite book |last1=Jones |first1=Ivor |title=Airfields and Landing Grounds of Wales: North |publisher=The History Press |year=2008 |isbn=978-0-7524-4510-6 |page=159 |ol=37941119M }}

1952 saw the laying down of concrete terracing on the ever-popular Kop end, which is now the oldest part of the ground. Five years later, 34,445 people gathered to witness an FA Cup fourth-round tie against Manchester United, the largest-ever attendance at the Racecourse.{{Cite web |title=Wrexham v Manchester United, 26 January 1957 |url=https://www.11v11.com/matches/wrexham-v-manchester-united-26-january-1957-210986/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141129044907/http://www.11v11.com/matches/wrexham-v-manchester-united-26-january-1957-210986/ |archive-date=29 November 2014 |access-date=11 August 2014 |website=11v11.com }} On 30 September 1959, the Racecourse saw the switching-on of the newly installed floodlights.

In 1978, after Wrexham was promoted to the former Second Division, the Border Stand was built, taking its name from the Border Breweries which owned the ground. That part of the ground is now known as the Eric Roberts Builders Stand, where visiting supporters are normally seated.

The latest addition to the ground came about in 1999, after Grant Aid from Sport Lot, the Welsh Development Agency and the Football Trust, together with local sponsorship, financed the construction of a stand on the Mold Road side of the ground. The new structure was originally named the Pryce Griffiths Stand, after the then chairman, but was renamed the Mold Road Stand after Griffiths sold the club to Alex Hamilton. The stand has a capacity of 3,500 and also contains hospitality and conferencing facilities.

The development also saw the Paddock areas of the Sainsbury's Stand and the Eric Roberts Builders Stand become all-seated, bringing the current capacity up to 15,500, thus permitting international football and rugby union to be played at the Racecourse once again.

In 2002, then Wrexham F.C. chairman, William Pryce Griffiths, secured a 125-year lease on the Racecourse from Wolverhampton Dudley Breweries, for £750,000 and a peppercorn annual rent of £1. The club hosted TNS vs Liverpool in a UEFA Champions League qualifier in 2005.

On 26 June 2002, the freehold of the Racecourse Ground was acquired by Wrexham A.F.C. from Wolverhampton Dudley Breweries, for £300,000. On the same day, chairman, Alex Hamilton, transferred the ownership of the freehold from Wrexham A.F.C. to another of his companies, Damens Ltd, for a nominal fee. After that controversial change in ownership, the 125-year lease on the Racecourse, held by Wrexham F.C., was renegotiated. The new lease stated that Damens Ltd could evict Wrexham F.C. from the Racecourse Ground upon 12-months' notice and payment of £1,000,000. The new lease also saw the club's annual rent increase from £1 to £30,000.

In 2004, Wrexham F.C. was given a years' notice to quit the ground,{{Cite news |date=19 November 2004 |title=Timeline: Crisis at Wrexham FC |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/north_east/4022209.stm |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071010065803/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/north_east/4022209.stm |archive-date=10 October 2007 |access-date=4 January 2013 |work=BBC News }} which triggered a furious reaction from fans. In a legal case running until March 2006, the High Court ruled that the ownership of the freehold of the ground had been improperly transferred, and ownership reverted to the club's then-administrators, the club having gone into administration in December 2004, with debts of £2,600,000.

With the club's emergence from administration in May 2006, ownership of the ground passed to a new company, Wrexham Football Club (2006) Ltd, owned by Geoff Moss and Ian Roberts. They transferred the ownership of the ground to a new holding company, Wrexham Village Ltd, which owned both the new football club company, and later purchased the rugby league club, Crusaders, from its owners in Bridgend, South Wales. Thus the new company had two tenants for the stadium.

To make a permanent cash injection into the sporting clubs, Wrexham Village proposed in 2008 a joint venture development with a yet-to-be chosen third party, to develop a student village area near the site of the Kop stand. The £40 million project was to be developed in conjunction with Wrexham University to house over 800 students, and take place in two phases. The club would benefit from either land-lease income, or joint ownership within the development, and hence receive rental income direct from the tenants. However, due to the global recession that year, the company found it hard to find a development partner, and the freehold of the land, along with the development plans, was eventually sold in 2009 to another company owned by Moss and Roberts.

In August 2011, after a period of instability at Wrexham Village Ltd, which owned the stadium and both the football and rugby league clubs, the company agreed to sell the stadium and associated training grounds to Wrexham University (then known as Glyndŵr University). The proposed deal, subject to financial terms agreed by both parties, would allow both sporting teams to continue using the facilities.{{Cite news |date=3 August 2011 |title=Glyndwr University to buy Wrexham's Racecourse stadium |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-14387541 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130629155616/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-14387541 |archive-date=29 June 2013 |access-date=21 June 2018 |work=BBC News }} The purchase of the ground also resulted in the re-branding of the stadium, incorporating the university's name.{{cite news|url=http://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/2011/08/22/wrexham-ground-to-become-glyndwr-university-racecourse-stadium-55578-29277573/|title=Wrexham ground to become Glyndwr University Racecourse Stadium|work=Daily Post|access-date=23 August 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121005064217/http://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/2011/08/22/wrexham-ground-to-become-glyndwr-university-racecourse-stadium-55578-29277573/|archive-date=5 October 2012|url-status=live}}

The medical and treatment facilities were also upgraded, together with improved seating for disabled supporters, better floodlighting and removal of cambers at the Kop end of the ground. That meant the stadium was reclassified to Category 3 level, meaning it was able to host international football matches.{{Cite news |date=14 May 2014 |title=Wrexham FC's Racecourse Stadium gets 300k revamp |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-north-east-wales-27408692 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180104183412/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-north-east-wales-27408692 |archive-date=4 January 2018 |access-date=21 June 2018 |work=BBC News }}

In August 2016, Wrexham University and Wrexham A.F.C. signed a contract that signalled a new future for the Racecourse. The lease from the university was branded as "My Racecourse" ({{langx|cy|'Nghae Ras I}}).{{Cite web |title=Fans Vote YES To Ground Lease – 'My Racecourse' Launches With £200k Target |url=https://www.wrexham.com/news/fans-vote-yes-for-my-racecourse-110807.html |access-date=2022-06-29 |website=Wrexham.com |language=en}}

;The Kop

:The formerly all-standing home stand is named after the Battle of Spion Kop. Many grounds in the UK used to have sections named as such. Situated behind the goal, it is known officially as the Crispin Lane End or "Town End". With a capacity of 5,000, the Spion Kop was the largest all-standing terrace in the English Football League. Since 2008, it has been unused on safety grounds. In November 2022, Wrexham Council's planning committee approved plans for a 5,500 capacity seater stand including a hospitality lounge, office and retail space for the club as well as further facilities for the club's community trust. {{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63554065|title=Wrexham AFC: Racecourse Stadium's Kop redevelopment plans given council approval|publisher=BBC Sport|date=8 November 2022|accessdate=8 November 2022}} The stand was demolished in January 2023 for a complete rebuild, as it has been unused for a number of years by that point, being deemed a health hazard;{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-46647040|title=Racecourse ground derelict stand redevelopment to be discussed|date=29 December 2018|via=www.bbc.com}} the process was expected to finish by the start of the 2024–25 season,{{Cite web|url=https://www.wrexhamafc.co.uk/news/2022/november/kop-development--planning-committee-approval/|title=KOP DEVELOPMENT | Planning Committee Approval|website=www.wrexhamafc.co.uk}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1721665/Rob-McElhenney-Wrexham-stadium-update|title=Rob McElhenney gives Wrexham stadium update with emotional fan promise|first=Andrew|last=Gamble|date=15 January 2023|website=Express.co.uk}} but additional complications have shifted that timeline indefinitely.

The temporary stand was opened at 80% capacity in time for the fixture against Newport County on 23 December 2023. The temporary stand is partially exposed to bad weather but has a reduced ticket cost.

:On 3 March 2025, Wrexham County Borough councillors approved the proposal for the construction of a new 5,500-seater Kop stand at Wrexham AFC’s Racecourse Ground. The club aims to have it ready in time for the 2026/27 season. It is crucial to finish the project by 2026, as the stadium is scheduled to host UEFA European Under-19 Championship matches.{{cite web | url=https://footballgroundguide.com/news/wrexham-stadium-expansion-latest-updates-on-kop-redevelopment.html | title=Wrexham Stadium Expansion: Latest updates on Kop redevelopment | What is Ryan Reynolds investment bringing at the Racecourse Ground? | date=4 May 2025 }}{{cite web | url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cn0jg7ln0dro | title=Wrexham: Planning committee vote to approve new Kop Stand plans | date=3 March 2025 }}

;Wrexham Lager Stand

:Capacity 4,200, backing onto where Yale College used to be. It was built in 1972 in preparation for the club's first venture into Europe, and also provided new dressing rooms, club offices and entertainment suites. The Centenary Club is also located here. The stand is sponsored by Wrexham Lager, a locally owned independent brewery. The club held a lottery during the 2009–10 season with the winner getting to name the stand for a season. The winning ticket resulted in the stand being called the Loyal Canadian Red Stand. For the 2010–11 season it had been renamed the Cash4Gold Stand.

:Formerly the Wrexrent Stand, Marston's Stand, or Tech End. It holds 2,800 spectators and provides the supporters with excellent views of the pitch and excellent acoustics. From the 2007–08 season home fans will be located in this stand and away fans moved to the wing of the Yale Stand, with the exception of games where a large away attendance is anticipated. It was renamed for the 2023–24 season.

;Macron Stand

:The newest stand, capacity 3,500, was secured with lottery funding, and built over the old Mold Road stand in 1999. The stand possesses a TV studio and eight fully equipped private boxes, and has a restaurant called "The Changing Rooms"; there is also a club shop which is run by the Supporters' Trust adjacent to the stand. The stand was initially named after the chairman Pryce Griffiths, but was renamed as the Mold Road Stand, following Pryce Griffith's endorsement of Alex Hamilton's redevelopment scheme. A family area, sponsored by Nando's was introduced in the 2009–10 season, located to the area of the stand nearest to the Kop. For the 2010–11 season, as part of the Crusaders presence, the stand was renamed the Greene King Stand

Wrexham have 38 disabled places available at the front of the Macron Stand. There are 22 parking spaces in the Wrexham University car park (next door) as well as two disabled toilets, plus low-counter refreshment kiosks, with steward assistance if required. Admission is £12 for disabled supporters (£5 concessions) and helpers are admitted free of charge.

The stadium has eight allocated spaces for those who are visually impaired; the commentary provided is also broadcast to the local hospital.

In October 2013, the stadium hosted the United Kingdom's first 'autism friendly' football match. A group of around 50 attended the Racecourse to watch Wrexham play against Woking.{{cite news|title=Wrexham Racecourse Hosted First Autism-Friendly Match|url=http://www.levelplayingfield.org.uk/news/wrexham-racecourse-hosted-first-autism-friendly-match|access-date=26 December 2016|work=Level Playing Field|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161226220234/http://www.levelplayingfield.org.uk/news/wrexham-racecourse-hosted-first-autism-friendly-match|archive-date=26 December 2016|url-status=live}}

It has space for six users and carers.

After the platform was opened, Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson praised the club in the House of Lords, saying "This is a club, my Lords, that genuinely cares about its spectators. My Lords, the big clubs are hiding."{{cite news|title=Wrexham FC praised by Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson for club's work to support disabled fans|url=http://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/wrexham-fc-praised-baroness-tanni-9677157|access-date=26 December 2016|work=Daily Post|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161227060023/http://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/wrexham-fc-praised-baroness-tanni-9677157|archive-date=27 December 2016|url-status=live}}

The club became the first in Wales to win an autism-friendly award in 2018, awarded by the National Autistic Society.

In November 2018, the DSA started the Audio Descriptive Commentary service, where blind or visually impaired supporters can listen to the game, live in the stadium. There are 10 handsets available, on a first come first served basis.

The ground was home to former Super League club Crusaders RL from 2010 after their departure from Brewery Field in Bridgend in South Wales. Crusaders were hoping to play at Rodney Parade in Newport but the deal fell through; they then decided to move to North Wales and a new franchise was created.{{cite web|url=http://www.superleague.co.uk/article.php?id%3D16080 |title=Archived copy |access-date=9 December 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120829144157/http://www.superleague.co.uk/article.php?id=16080 |archive-date=29 August 2012 |df=dmy }}

Crusaders have enjoyed some well-attended games at the Racecourse Ground during 2010 with their opening engage Super League match against Leeds attracted over 10,000 people, with large local support.

In 2011 Crusaders withdraw their Super League licence application and ultimately folded citing financial invalidity.

2012 saw the birth of a new club, born from the ashes of the old club. North Wales Crusaders currently play in the Co-operative Championship 1 competition. They are seen as a separate entity from the former club, and are starting their own chapter in rugby league history. From 2016, North Wales Crusaders no longer play at the Racecourse Ground.

International Rugby League games have also been staged at the ground. The stadium hosted Wales' clash with England in the 2012 Autumn International Series. In 2013, it held Wales' 2013 Rugby League World Cup home game with the USA on Sunday 3 November 2013, with the Tomahawks ending the home side's chance of a quarter-final appearance with a 24–16 win. The win by the USA, a team expected to be beaten in their first ever Rugby League World Cup,{{Cite news |last=Williams |first=Aled |date=2013-11-01 |title=Rugby League World Cup 2013: United States shock Wales |url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/wales/24776704 |access-date=2024-06-14 |work=BBC Sport |language=en-GB}} would see them return to Wrexham for a quarter-final clash against tournament favourites Australia, on Saturday 16 November 2013. As expected, the Kangaroos (who would go on to win the World Cup) defeated the USA 62–0, with 5,762 in attendance.

As part of the 2014 Rugby League European Cup, the Racecourse Ground hosted the match between Wales and Ireland on 2 November.

As of 2025, the Racecourse Ground has hosted ten Wales internationals. The results were as follows:{{cite web|url=http://www.rugbyleagueproject.org/matches/Custom/LS0tMS0tMTcwLS0tLS0tLS15LXktLS0tLS0=|title=Racecourse Ground rugby league internationals|work=Rugby League Project|access-date=30 May 2015}}

The Racecourse Ground has held four rugby union internationals. Three of them were Wales’ friendlies against Romania and won all three of them (70–21 30 August 1997, 40–3 on 3 October 1999 and 54–8 on 27 August 2003 which was a warm-up game before the 2003 Rugby World Cup. It also hosted a 1999 Rugby Union World Cup Pool 4 match between Japan and Samoa on 3 October 1999 with Samoa winning 43–9. The Racecourse has also played host to the Wales 'A' squad on numerous occasions.

The first concert to be held at the Racecourse was in the summer of 1976 with the 'Festival of Entertainment.' Mac and Katie Kissoon, Junior Walker and KC and the Sunshine Band gave the occasion a distinctly soul/disco feel.

The second concert to be held at the stadium took place in July 1982, when Motörhead headlined with Twisted Sister making their UK debut as the support act.{{cite web|title=Dee Snider Reveals How Lemmy Helped Twisted Sister Break Through|date=29 December 2015 |url=http://ultimateclassicrock.com/dee-snider-book-excerpt/|publisher=Ultimate Classic Rock|access-date=26 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170315013923/http://ultimateclassicrock.com/dee-snider-book-excerpt/|archive-date=15 March 2017|url-status=live}}{{cite web|title=How the UK changed Twisted Sister
