After spending the last two summers in America, the club announced that their pre-season tour in 2025 will take them to Australia and New Zealand. It came as no surprise, as the club's documentary series - Welcome to Wrexham - has a significant following from the Australian audience. 

"Our third biggest audience for Welcome to Wrexham is Australia. Number one US, number two UK, number three is Australia, which I find fascinating. There is a lot of love for Wrexham,” McElhenney told Rolling Stone earlier this year.
