Boyle made his international debut with Team Canada at the 2005 World Championships in Austria during the 2004–05 NHL lockout. He contributed 3 assists in 9 games as part of a silver-medal winning effort by Team Canada; they were defeated 3–0 in the gold medal game by the Czech Republic. The next year, Boyle was named as a reserve in light of injuries to Scott Niedermayer and Ed Jovanovski for Team Canada at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin. He did not appear in a game as Team Canada was kept from the podium.
On December 30, 2009, Steve Yzerman named Boyle to the 2010 Winter Olympics team as a full member. On February 28, 2010, the team defeated the United States to win Canada's eighth gold medal in Olympic men's hockey.
