We perform Monte Carlo simulation to study the effects of random disorder on equilibrium phase transition of three three-dimensional single-site anisotropic XY ferromagnetnet. The disorder is incorporated in two ways; having a randomly distributed anisotropy and presence of a quenched random field. We show that the critical temperature of ferro-para transition increases with an increase in strength of constant anisotropy. In contrast, the system gets ordered at lower temperatures if the anisotropy has random distribution. The effects of quenched random fields are also studied in single-site anisotropic XY ferromagnet. The transition temperature reduces due to the presence of quenched random field. The compensating field (the required amount of field which preserves the critical temperature for isotropic XY ferromagnet) linearly depends on the strength of constant single-site anisotropy. We compute the magnetic and susceptibility exponent ratios for constant single-site anisotropic XY system only via detailed finite-size scaling analysis.
