What is the maximum size of the rugby pitch including the in-goal area?

Rugby union, commonly known simply as rugby, is a full-contact team sport that originated in England in the first half of the 19th century. One of the two codes of rugby football is based on running with the ball in hand. In its most common form, a game is played between two teams of 15 players each, using an oval-shaped ball on a rectangular field called a pitch. The field has H-shaped goalposts at both ends.

The field of play is the area between the goal lines and the touchlines. These lines are not part of the field of play. The playing area is the field of play and in‑goal areas. The touchlines, touch‑in‑goal lines and dead ball lines are not part of the playing area.

A rugby pitch is 106-144m long (including the in-goal area) by 68-70m wide with a playing area of 7,208-10,080 sq m. While the maximum playing areas are a similar size, the minimum size of a football pitch is almost 80% smaller than a minimum-sized rugby pitch.
