Under–21

Harris was a member of the United States U–21 side from 1999 through to 2006. [7]

During his time with the national junior squad, he competed at two editions of the Pan American Junior Championship. At the 2000 edition in Santiago, the team finished in fourth place. [8] At the 2005 edition in Havana, the team finished in fourth again, with Harris named as the Player of the Tournament. [7] [9]

Senior national team

Harris received his first call-up to the United States national squad in 2000, at just 15 years of age. He made his senior international debut later that year, earning his first senior cap during a match against Mexico at the inaugural edition of the Pan American Cup in Havana. [2]

Throughout his career, Harris has represented the national team at a multitude of major international tournaments. During this time, he has medalled with the team on three separate occasions. In 2009 he won his first, taking home an historic silver medal at the Pan American Cup in Santiago. His other two medals were both bronze. [10] He won his first bronze at the 2017 Pan American Cup in Lancaster and the second at the XVIII Pan American Games in Lima. [11] [12]

As of 2025, Harris is still an active member of the senior national team. He was most recently named in the squad for the 2025 Pan American Cup in Montevideo, which will be his seventh edition of the tournament.
