<Li> Gaelic games: In camogie, Gaelic football, hurling and ladies' Gaelic football a red card (Irish: cárta dearg) is given to players for serious fouls and violent conduct . A player who receives two yellow cards in a single game is sent off and receives a red card . </Li> <Li> Handball: A red card indicates a disqualification of a player who has committed an offense such as unsportsmanlike conduct, serious foul play, or receiving a third two - minute suspension . A red card prevents a player from playing for the remainder of the match and as a result reduces the number of players that are available to a team . A red card also carries a two - minute suspension for the team, meaning that a team cannot replace the disqualified player until the two - minute team suspension has expired . </Li> <Li> Racewalking: A red card indicates that a competitor's foot failed to be on the ground when the rear leg is being raised or that his front leg is not straightened when it makes contact with the ground . A judge would issue a yellow card for the first infraction committed by a competitor . And if the same judge detects the second infraction from the same competitor, a red card is issued . Three red cards, from three different judges, will result in a competitor's disqualification . </Li> <Li> Rugby league: Red cards are not usually used in rugby league in the southern hemisphere with referees indicating a player has been sent from the field for the rest of the match with one extended arm above the head with the index finger pointed in the direction of a sideline . However, in the northern hemisphere, it is common for a referee to use a red card in signaling a player has been sent from the field for the rest of the match, with no replacement allowed . It is possible for a player to receive seven yellow cards without receiving a red card (a player who receives eight yellow cards in a match will receive a red card, which results in ejection from the match). However, it is up to the referee's discretion at how bad the offenses are, and in these cases, a red card may be commonly shown for a second major offense without the presence of a second yellow card . </Li>
