Racecourse Ground, Sports venue in Wrexham, Wales.
Racecourse Ground is a stadium in Wrexham, northern Wales, used for association football, rugby union and rugby league. The facility comprises four separate stands and offers around ten thousand seats for spectators during matches and other sporting events.
The site began as a horse racing track in the early 19th century and later evolved into a venue for ball sports. The local football club moved to the grounds and has used it as their home pitch ever since.
Residents of Wrexham and the surrounding region treat match days as community gatherings where neighbors meet and cheer together for their team. The Welsh name Y Cae Ras remains in everyday use among locals who attend games and discuss them in pubs and shops afterward.
Visitors can reach the ground by bus from central Wrexham or use nearby parking options on event days. Arriving earlier on match days helps avoid queues at the gates and allows time to find a good spot inside.
The ground ranks among the oldest continuously used sites for international football matches worldwide and has hosted games regularly for over a century and a half. The stand on the south side was built partly from timber, which has become rare among modern stadiums.
