Dimensions A rugby league pitch (or field) is 68m wide and 112-122m long. The try lines (or goal lines) stand 100m apart. On each one is a goal post that is 5.5m wide and at least 16m high, with a crossbar set 3m above the ground. The distance from try line to dead-ball line is 6-11m . The field of play is a fixed size - 100m long and 68m wide and does not include the line markings, meaning all touchlines and dead ball lines are considered out of play. Field Near each end of the field is a goal line, or try-line; they are 100 metres (109.4 yards) apart. A scoring area called the in-goal area extends 6–11 metres (6.6–12 yards) from each try-line to each dead ball line. Between the goal lines, broken lines run parallel to each touch line at 10 and 20 metres from touch. Free kicks are taken 10 metres in from the point where the ball entered touch after being kicked out to gain ground from a penalty. If a scrum is required to restart play and the event that caused it occurred "within 20 metres of a touch line or ten metres of a goal line the scrum shall be brought in twenty metres from the touch line and ten metres from the goal line".RLIF, 2004: 32 Markings Lines with distance markers transverse the field every 10 metres perpendicular to the touch lines. The distances ascend from each goal line towards the halfway line, which is marked "50" (similar to a typical American football field). These lines, as well as the goal lines, dead ball lines and touch lines are 15 centimetres wide and white in colour, the only exception being the 40-metre lines, which are usually coloured red to distinguish them for the determination of 40–20 kicks in play. The broken lines 10 metres and 20 metres in from the touch lines are 10 centimetres wide and white in colour. The distance markers on the playing field are white with a red outline. These numbers are 2 metres high . Objects On each goal line are two goal posts 5.5 metres apart connected by a cross bar 3 metres from the ground. Each goal post is 16 metres in height (however they can be built higher) and for the purpose of judging a goal are considered to extend upwards indefinitely.RLIF, 2004: 3 The posts and crossbar form an "H" shape. Goal posts supported by only one post below the crossbar are permissible. The bottom two metres of a goal post is recommended to be padded to protect players from injury. At professional level, these pads are usually cuboids that encase each post. A corner post is placed at the points where each touch line meets each goal line.RLIF, 2004: 4 The post must consist of non-rigid material and should be at least 1.3m (4.1ft) metres in height. The corner posts are in touch in-goal, that is to say they act in the same way as sidelines and the ball-carrier touching them immediately halts play.
