MacIver has represented England at under-17, under-19, under-20 and under-21 level. She started every game for England at the 2015 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship; however, England were knocked out at the group stage.[8] She also started every game at the 2017 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship where England finished in fifth place.[9] MacIver was part of the England squad that won bronze medal in the 2018 U20 World Cup in France, and was awarded the Golden Glove as the tournament's best goalkeeper.[10][11][12]
