Goalkeepers wear the same colours as outfield players. This is because no special rules apply to the goalkeeper and so there is no need for officials to differentiate between goalkeeper and outfielders. A camogie player can hand pass a point over the bar from play (hand passing a goal is forbidden in camogie since 2021 and forbidden in hurling since 1980). Camogie games last 60 minutes, two 30-minute halves (senior inter-county hurling games last 70, which is two 35-minute halves). Ties are resolved by multiple 2×10-minute sudden death extra time periods; in these, the first team to score wins. A smaller sliotar (ball) is used in camogie – commonly known as a size 4 sliotar – whereas hurlers play with a size 5 sliotar. If a defending player hits the sliotar wide, a 45-metre puck is awarded to the opposition (in hurling, it is a 65-metre puck). After a score, the goalkeeper pucks out from the 13-metre line (in hurling, he must puck from the end line). The metal band on the camogie stick must be covered with tape (not necessary in hurling). Side-to-side charges are forbidden (permitted in hurling). Two points are awarded for a score direct from a sideline cut (since March 2012). Players must wear skirts or skorts rather than shorts.
