==== Technical fouls ====
The following are considered technical fouls ("fouling the ball"):
* Going five steps without releasing, bouncing, or soloing the ball (soloing involves kicking the ball into one's own hands)<ref>{{Cite web |title=All About Football |url=http://www.gaa.ie/page/all_about_football.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090204082354/http://www.gaa.ie/page/all_about_football.html |archive-date=4 February 2009 |access-date=18 September 2009 |df=dmy}}</ref>
* Bouncing the ball twice in a row (It may be soloed continuously)
* Changing hands: Throwing the ball between the hands (legal in the ladies' game)
* Throwing the ball (it may be "hand-passed" by striking with the fist).
* Hand passing a goal. To hand pass a ball with an open palm there must be a clear striking action (the ball may be punched over the bar from up in the air, but not into the goal).
* Picking the ball directly off the ground (it must be scooped up into the hands by the foot). However, in [[Ladies' Gaelic football#Differences from men's football|ladies' Gaelic football]], the ball may be picked up directly.
* The square ball is an often controversial rule: "If at the moment the ball enters the small square, there is already an attacking player inside the small rectangle, then a free out is awarded." As of 2012 square balls are only counted if the player is inside the square when the ball is kicked from a free or set piece. An opposing player is allowed in the square during open play.<ref>{{Cite web |title=GAA Referee Handbook - Square Ball {{!}} GAA DOES |url=https://learning.gaa.ie/Referee/SquareBall |access-date=2021-01-24 |website=learning.gaa.ie}}</ref>
