Hartnett won two caps for the Republic of Ireland national football team and made his debut on 12 June 1949 in a 4–1 friendly defeat to Spain at Dalymount Park.[4] His second and final cap did not come until five years later, when he played in a 1–0 win over Luxembourg in a World Cup qualifying game on 7 March 1954 at the Municipal Stadium, Luxembourg City.[4]
