Júnior Díaz made his Costa Rica national team debut in a friendly against China on 7 September 2003.[9] Díaz made one appearance at Copa América 2004, entering as a second-half substitute against Chile.[10] He appeared in all four matches as Costa Rica won the UNCAF Nations Cup 2005 tournament.[11] Díaz also appeared in one match at the 2005 CONCACAF Gold Cup finals.[12]

Díaz was a member of the Costa Rica national team at the 2004 Olympics in Athens. Ten years later, he became a member of the squad that reached the quarterfinals at the 2014 FIFA World Cup. He was crucial in the victory against Italy, as he served a cross to assist Bryan Ruiz's header for the lone goal of the match. In a note for La Nación, Díaz reflected on the assist, stating that "I am sure that, once I retire, many will summarize my career in one single cross."[13]
