LAW: 1.3 LINES ON THE PLAYING ENCLOSURE

  • (a) Solid Lines
    The dead ball lines and touch-in-goal lines, both of which are outside the in-goal areas;
    The goal lines, which are within the in-goal areas but outside the field of play;
    The 22-metre lines; which are parallel to the goal lines
    The half way line which is parallel to the goal lines; and
    The touchlines which are outside the field of play.
  • (b) Dash Lines
    All lines other than solid lines are dash lines all of which are 5 metres in length.
    There are two sets of dash lines which are 10 metres from, and parallel to, each side of the half way line. These are called the 10 metre dash lines. The 10 metre dash lines intersect the dash lines which are 5 metres and 15 metres parallel to each touch line.
    There are two sets of dash lines which are 5 metres from, and parallel to, each touch line. They run from the 5 metre dash lines, which are parallel to each goal line and intersect both 22 metre lines, both 10 metre dash lines and the half way line. These are called the 5 metre dash lines.
    There are two sets of dash lines which are 15 metres from, and parallel to, each touch line. These dash lines run from the 5 metre dash lines which are parallel to each goal line, and intersect both 22 metre lines, both 10 metre dash lines and the half way line. These are called the 15 metre dash lines.
    There are six dash lines 5 metres from, and parallel to, each goal line. Two dash lines are positioned 5 metres and 15 metres from each touch line. A further two dash lines are positioned in front of each goal post so that there is 5 metres between these dash lines.
  • (c) Centre
    There is one line 0.5 metre long that intersects the centre of the half way line.
