Borges scored on her debut for the Portugal women's national football team on 4 March 2009, a 2–1 win over Poland at the 2009 Algarve Cup. Two days later Portugal secured another 2–1 win, this time against Wales, and Borges scored again on the occasion of her second cap. She was named by coach Francisco Neto in the 23-player Portugal squad for UEFA Women's Euro 2017 in the Netherlands.[11]
In November 2017 she made her 100th appearance for Portugal in a 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification fixture against Moldova.[12]
