The Union Rugby Pitch is the Olympic-sized rectangular grass field defined by the area of play and in-goal areas in a Union Rugby match. Union Rugby Pitches are differentiated from League Rugby by a larger field of play and the designation of the 22m line. The general area of play is located between the goal lines and the touchlines, and is where much of the game occurs. The in-goal areas are between the goal line and the dead ball line, and contain the goal posts. Along the field are distance markers to signify distances along the field. Players can score a try by placing the ball inside the in-goal area, and score a goal by aiming the ball through the opposing goal posts.
Union Rugby Pitches have an overall length between 347.77’-472.44’ (106-144 m) and width of 223.1’-229.66’ (68-70 m) for a total area of 77,586-108,500 ft² (7208-10080 m²). The area of play between the Try-Lines is 328’ (100 m) with In-Goal Areas varying from 19.69’-72.18’ (6-22 m). The Union Rugby Pitch is marked with 10m and 22m lines with two sets of broken distance lines at 16.4' and 49.21' (5 and 15 m) from the touch lines.
