This is a list of players with international caps in the TT Pro League that began league play in 1999. The following players must have received at least one full international cap by their respective national team's first squad while playing in the TT Pro League. However, players who earned their first international cap after leaving the Pro League are not included. Appearances and goals are composed of FIFA World Cup and CONCACAF Gold Cup matches and each competition's required qualification matches, as well as numerous international friendly tournaments and matches.
The first TT Pro League players to have received a full international cap were Clayton Ince of Defence Force, Hector Sam of San Juan Jabloteh, Derek King of W Connection, and Joe Public's Lyndon Andrews, Shurland David, Arnold Dwarika, Kerwin Jemmott, Sherwyn Julien, and Stokely Mason, who represented Trinidad and Tobago in a 2–0 win against South Africa at the National Stadium on 6 May 1999.

There have been twelve TT Pro League international players who have represented their respective national team in the FIFA World Cup. However, the first international players to appear at the FIFA World Cup while playing in the Pro League were Cyd Gray and Aurtis Whitley. The San Juan Jabloteh duo represented Trinidad and Tobago in a 0–0 draw against Sweden in the Soca Warriors' opening match at the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
International call-ups during the earliest years of the TT Pro League were generally for Trinidad and Tobago, however, players representing the surrounding Caribbean nations of Guyana, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines also received full international caps. From the 2000s onward, the increasingly multinational nature of the Pro League resulted in call-ups for players from across North and Central America, and around the Caribbean (including Antigua and Barbuda, Jamaica, and Saint Kitts and Nevis) and also from Africa (Botswana).
