| Age Group | Type of Pitch | Maximum Size without run off Length x Width (m) | Minimum Goalpost Dimensions Height v Width (m) | Practical Tips |
| Senior | | 100 | 70 | 6.4 | 5.6 | - Line width is normally 75mm
- In-goal lines are the same width as the posts
- Dimensions are to the outside of the lines
- The height of the post cross bars should be 3m to the top of the bar
- The flag posts that denote the field of play are a minimum height of 1.2m with a non-pointed top. Flag posts must be positioned at the intersection of touch-in-goal lines and the goal lines and at the intersection of the touch-in-goal lines and the dead ball lines. These eight flag posts are outside the in-goal area and do not form part of the playing area. Flag posts must be positioned in line with the 22-metre lines and the half way line, 2 metres outside the touchlines and within the playing enclosure.
- Goal and touchlines are out of the field of play.
- Pitch run-offs should be 5m where practicable.
