Wrexham FC  The club was formed in 1864 by members of the Wrexham Cricket Club, who wanted a sporting activity for the winter month. This makes Wrexham the oldest football club in Wales and the third oldest professional club in the world. Alongside neighbours Druids FC and Chirk FC, Wrexham were pioneers of association football in North Wales. In 1876 Wrexham became founder members of the Welsh FA and won the first Welsh FA Cup competition in 1878. In 1883, Wrexham entered the English FA Cup for the first time and were expelled from the competition following crowd disturbances during their game with Oswestry Town. The club was disbanded and reformed one month later as Wrexham Olympic, reverting to its original name in 1886.In 1890, Wrexham joined the Football Combination with a team that featured two players with only one arm each. Rising costs led to a decision to play in the Welsh League for two seasons 1894-96 but despite winning the championship in both seasons, support dwindled so the club rejoined the Combination, winning the title four times. In 1905 Wrexham joined the Birmingham & District League where they remained until the formation of Division Three (North) in 1921, which they were invited to join. The North Wales fans had little to cheer about and the club's best performance came in 1933 when they finished as runners-up. During the 1950s the club struggled in the League and were relegated to Division Four in 1960. Promotion followed in 1962 but two years later they were down once again and in 1966 the team had to apply for re-election. The club’s fortunes improved during the 1970s with promotion to Division Three followed by success in the Welsh Cup which in turn led to entry into the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1972-73.  Hard times followed in the 1980s when successive relegations saw the club drop back to the Fourth Division in 1983. In 1991 Wrexham finished bottom and would have been relegated had the League not been restructured.

In 1993 they were promoted to the new Division Two (previously Division Three). In 2004-05, Wrexham became the first League club to suffer an automatic ten-point penalty after they went into administration. With relegation to League Two (formerly the Fourth Division) inevitable, the club struggled financially.  In 2007-08 the club struggled and finished in last place in League Two, losing their Football League status after 87 years. The club spent fifteen seasons in the  National League National League , the fifth tier of English football having lost five play-off competitions, but the club’s financial position improved after its purchase by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Highlights of this difficult period were winning the Football League Trophy in 2005 and the FA Trophy in 2013, to add to its 23 wins in the Welsh Cup.  The 2022-23 season will go down as one of the most memorable in the club's history as Wrexham vied with Notts County throughout the season to lead the league with both setting new National League records for wins, goals, and goal difference. On 22 April 2023, Wrexham secured winning their first league title in 45 years, and were promoted to the EFL League 2 following a 3–1 win against Boreham Wood. Around 10,000 fans witnessed the historic occasion at the Racecourse Ground in North Wales. There were euphoric scenes as the final whistle blew and supporters stormed onto the pitch to celebrate.
