It depends on the tournament (local, state, national, or international), and the age and rank level of the division. Many tournaments will have each sparring match last one round of 90 seconds (one and a half minute) for color belts. Sometimes, there are two 60 second rounds with a 30 second rest period. Black Belts often have two or three rounds lasting either 2 or 3 minutes each, with a 1 minute rest period between rounds.

Of course, a match might end early (before time expires) due to a number of reasons (IE: Forfeiture, Injury, Penalties, Referee Stopping Contest, Knock-Out/TKO, or if there is a set spread of points).
