Racecourse Ground (Wrexham)

The Racecourse Ground is the home stadium of Wrexham Association Football Club. The club have played their home matches at the stadium since forming in the nearby Turf Hotel in 1864. However as the name suggests, the stadium is built on the site of a former racecourse, which had hosted Horse Racing between 1739 and 1857.

The ground is also the world’s oldest international football stadium that still hosts international matches, having hosted Wales’ first home international match in 1877 as they lost 2-0 to Scotland. The venue has hosted more Wales’ international matches than any other ground, although it has been used less frequently in recent years since the larger Millennium Stadium, Cardiff City Stadium and Liberty Stadium were built.

The stadium has also been used by the North Wales Crusaders rugby league team (2012-2016), Scarlets rugby union club and Liverpool Reserves. Both the Welsh national rugby league and rugby union teams have played several international matches at the stadium, whilst a 1999 Rugby World Cup pool match between Japan and Samoa was also held there.
