2015 Copa América disciplinary record
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2015) |
In the 2015 Copa América, the main disciplinary action taken against players came in the form of red and yellow cards.
Any player picking up a red card was expelled from the pitch and automatically banned for his country's next match, whether via a straight red or second yellow. After a straight red card, FIFA would conduct a hearing and could extend this ban beyond one match. If the ban extended beyond the end of the finals (i.e. if a player was sent off in the match in which his team was eliminated), it had to be served in the team's next competitive international match(es). In most cases, that was the first matches of 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying.

Fair Play Award[edit]
The Fair Play Award was given to the team with the best overall discipline throughout the tournament, Peru.

As the team that advanced past the first stage with the most points, Peru were awarded the trophy. Teams that drop below 0 points were excluded from winning the award.[1]

|---|---|
| Booking of a player (yellow card) | 1 point |
| Expulsion of a player (red card) | 2 points |
| Suspension per game | 1 point |
| Delay of game at the start of restart of a match | 2 points |
| Misconduct of the players and/or coaching staff | 1 point |
| Recidivism of misconduct | 2 points |
| Incomplete team | 1 point |
| Abandonment of the game | Exclusion |
