Canadian football also offers a secondary form of goal, the [[single (Canadian football)|rouge or single point]]; it is awarded if a ball enters the goal area ([[end zone]]) by way of any kick (either a missed field goal or a punt) and is not returned by the opposing team; this is not offered in American football (such a play results in a touchback instead).

A goal is scored in either [[Rugby football|rugby]] code by place kicking or [[drop kick]]ing a ball over the crossbar and between the uprights of H-shaped goalposts.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.therfl.co.uk/the-rfl/rules/official_laws/1_playing_field |title=Archived copy |access-date=2018-11-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160309140247/http://therfl.co.uk/the-rfl/rules/official_laws/1_playing_field |archive-date=2016-03-09 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://laws.worldrugby.org/?law=1.4|title=1.4 Dimensions for goal posts and crossbar|publisher=World Rugby|work=Laws|access-date=30 November 2016}}</ref> The crossbar is {{convert|3|metres}} from the ground; the uprights are {{convert|5.5|metres}} apart in [[rugby league]] and {{convert|5.6|metres}} in [[rugby union]].

In the early years of rugby, [[History of rugby union#Scoring|only goals counted in scoring]], and a "[[Try (rugby)|try]]" counted only if "converted" into a goal. The official name "[[goal from a try]]" for a converted try persisted until 1979.
