In 1925, Stark earned only two caps with the U.S. national team, both in games against Canada. His first cap came in a 1-0 loss to Canada in Quebec in June. In November, Canada came to the U.S. where Stark scored five goals as the U.S. easily dispatched its northern neighbors 6-1.
While Stark received an invitation to play on the national team at the 1930 FIFA World Cup, he declined the invitation for business reasons.
In 1950, Stark was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame.
