Disqualification from a match is called for a number of reasons:

*Performing any illegal holds or maneuvers, such as refusing to break a hold when an opponent is in the ropes, hair-pulling, choking or biting an opponent, or repeatedly punching with a closed fist. These violations are usually subject to a referee-administered five count and will result in disqualification if not released before.
*Attacking an opponent's eye, such as raking it, poking it, [[Eye-Gouging|gouging it]], punching it or other severe attacks to the eye.
*Any outside interference involving a person not involved in the match striking or holding a wrestler. If a heel attempts to interfere but is ejected from the ring by a wrestler or referee before this occurs, there is usually no disqualification. In this disqualification method, the wrestler being attacked by the foreign member is awarded the win. Sometimes, however, this can work in heels' favor. In February 2009, [[Ryan Barnhart]], who was under the kayfabe employment of [[John Goff|John "Bradshaw" Goff]], interfered in a match and super kicked JBG in front of the referee in order to get his employer the win via "outside interference".
*Striking an opponent with a [[Foreign Object|foreign object]] (unless the rules of the match specifically allow this; see [[Hardcore Wrestling|hardcore wrestling]]).
*A direct [[groin attack|low blow to the groin]] (unless the rules of the match specifically allow this).
*Intentionally laying hands on the referee or to an extreme case, often in special referee matches, touching the referee with any body parts.
*Pulling an opponent's wrestling trunks for a pinfall during a match (although this usually only results in nullification of the pinfall).
*Pulling an opponent's mask off during a match (this is illegal in Mexico, and sometimes in Japan).
*In a [[IWE Royal Rumble|Royal Rumble]], it is illegal to enter the ring before your due entrance.

In practice, the rules of the fight are often violated without disqualification due to the referee being distracted and not seeing the offense, or the referee seeing the offense but allowing the match to continue. Usually, the only offenses that the referee will see and ''immediately'' disqualify the match on (as opposed to having multiple offenses) are [[groin attack|low blows]], [[foreign object|weapon usage]], interference, or assaulting the referee. In IWE, a referee must see the violation with his own eyes to rule that the match end in a disqualification (simply watching the video tape is not usually enough) and the referee's ruling is almost always final, although ''dusty finishes'' (named after, and made famous by, [[Dusty Rhodes|Dusty Semmler]]) will often result in the referee's decision being overturned. It is not uncommon for the referees themselves to get knocked out during a match, which is commonly referred to by the term "ref bump". While the referee remains "unconscious", rules are often violated at will. In some cases, a referee might disqualify a person under the presumption that it was that wrestler who knocked him out; most referee knockouts are arranged to allow a wrestler, usually a heel, to gain an advantage. For example, a wrestler may get whipped into a referee at a slower speed, knocking the ref down for short amount of time; during that interim period, one wrestler may pin his opponent for a three-count and would have won the match but for the referee being down (sometimes, another referee will sprint to the ring from backstage to attempt to make the count, but by then, the other wrestler has had enough time to kick out on his own accord).

If all participants in a match continue to breach the referee's instructions, the match may end in a double disqualification, where both wrestlers or teams (in a [[Tag Team Match|tag team]] match) have been disqualified. The match is essentially nullified, and called a draw or in some cases a restart or the same match being held at a pay-per-view or next night's show.

In most wrestling promotions, a [[Championship|championship]] cannot change hands as a result of a disqualification, unless the on-screen authority figure declares that the championship via disqualification which is good for only at least one match, often referred to as the "champion's advantage". Playing into this, some heel wrestlers will attempt to "get themselves disqualified" to "protect" their championships, although whenever a "rematch clause" is put in play, the said advantage is often ruled out by the general manager to give the challenger a fair shot. While in the case of some promotions,the champion may lose his championship if he gets disqualified.

A relatively recent trend in wrestling has been the development of the no-disqualification (or [[Hardcore Wrestling|Hardcore]]) match. This type of match became increasingly prominent during the 1990s, and was a particular feature of the [[Xtreme Championship Wrestling|Xtreme Championship Wrestling (XCW)]] promotion. When IWE (then IWF) unveiled its new [[The Attitude Era|"Attitude" era]] in 1997, the no-disqualification match was used as a centerpiece for this new design of wrestling, and a [[IWE Hardcore Championship|Hardcore Title]] was offered between 1998 and 2002. Completely new matches developed from the Hardcore/no-DQ match, including:

*Tables, Ladders, and Chairs (a ladder match where all three items may be used as a weapon against an opponent).
*Hardcore match (a no-disqualification match where falls count anywhere, even out of the venue).
*24/7 On the Line title, where the hardcore title is always available wherever and whenever a referee is available to judge a fall.
