International career

=Euro 2004=

Srna made his full international debut for the Croatia national team in a friendly match against Romania in November 2002. He went on to score his first international goal on his competitive debut for Croatia in their UEFA Euro 2004 qualifier against Belgium in March 2003, netting the opening goal in Croatia's 4–0 win. He made a total of six appearances in Croatia's qualifying campaign for Euro 2004, including both play-off matches against Slovenia.

At the Euro 2004 finals, he appeared as a substitute in Croatia's group matches against Switzerland and England, before they were knocked out of the tournament in the first round.

=2006 World Cup=

After Euro 2004, Srna went on to become one of the key players in Croatia's 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign, scoring five goals in nine appearances during the campaign and being the team's top goalscorer in the competition. During the 2006 World Cup qualifying, he scored both goals in Croatia's two 1–0 wins over Sweden, including a long-range free kick in the away fixture in Gothenburg. He also netted both goals in Croatia's 2–2 home draw against Bulgaria, as well as one goal in their 3–1 away win at Iceland.

Srna then starred in all three games of Croatia's 2006 World Cup campaign. He was highly praised and remembered for his spectacular 30-yard free kick which put Croatia ahead against Australia in the infamous "Graham Poll three-yellow card" blunder match that ended 2–2. However, in previous group match against Japan he missed a penalty in a 0–0 draw and Croatia finished third in the group stage with only 2 points.

=Euro 2008=

In September 2006, Srna was temporarily dropped from the Croatian squad for a Euro 2008 qualifying match with Russia because of a late night partying spree in a local disco, along with teammates Boško Balaban and Ivica Olić.{{cite web|url=http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2006/09/03/sports/EU_SPT_SOC_Croatia_Players_Dropped.php |title=Croatia coach drops three players for partying – Sports – |publisher=International Herald Tribune |date=29 March 2009 |access-date=25 July 2011}}

Srna was considered the hero of the match, when he came on as a substitute against Macedonia in a Euro 2008 qualifying match and scored shortly after from a free-kick, which was shot into the right corner of the goal.{{cite web |url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=197298&cc=5901 |title=ESPNsoccernet – Report: Croatia vs Macedonia – European Championship Qualifying |publisher=ESPN |date=24 March 2007 |access-date=25 July 2011 |archive-date=25 May 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110525213117/http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=197298&cc=5901 |url-status=dead }} In the 88th minute, he provided a cross which found teammate Eduardo, and allowed him to score and snatch a late win for Croatia. He also scored Croatia's equaliser in their hard-fought away victory against Israel, which eventually ended 4–3 in Croatia's favour. Srna went on to miss a penalty against Estonia, however his overall contribution to teamwork attack compensated for this mistake, which Croatia quickly capitalised on to win 2–0.

Since helping his country qualify for Euro 2008 with a strong qualifying campaign, Srna was unsurprisingly named in their 23-man squad for the current tournament. On 12 June, Srna scored the opening goal in the 24th minute of Croatia's 2–1 victory over Germany in their second game of Group B. He was the only player to score for Croatia in their unsuccessful penalty shootout in the quarter-finals against Turkey. At the conclusion of the match, Srna was seen struggling to hold back an emotional breakdown because of Croatia's strong efforts but eventual defeat.

=Euro 2012=

After Euro 2008, Srna succeeded Niko Kovač as national team captain.{{cite news|title=Euro 2012: Croatia profile – Darijo Srna|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2012/jun/04/euro-2012-croatia-darijo-srna|work=The Guardian|date=4 June 2012}}{{cite web|url=http://www.ezadar.hr/clanak/ako-niko-kovac-ode-novi-kapetan-bit-ce-darijo-srna|title=Ako Niko Kovač ode, novi kapetan bit će Darijo Srna}}

Srna started in all three games of the 2012 tournament as the captain, where Croatia finished third behind Spain and Italy, failing to qualify to the next stage. Italy and Spain went on to become the finalists of the tournament.

=2014 World Cup=

On 6 February 2013, Srna won his 100th cap in a friendly match against South Korea at Craven Cottage, London, thereby equalling Dario Šimić as Croatia's most capped player. In that match, Srna also scored his 20th international goal.{{cite news|url=http://www1.skysports.com/football/live/match/281548/report|title=Croatia 4 0 South Korea|date=6 February 2013|access-date=8 August 2013|work=Sky Sports}}

Croatia qualified for the 2014 World Cup, where Srna served as team captain for his second official international tournament, after Euro 2012.{{cite web|url=http://www.ua-football.com/ukrainian/high/538a370b.html|title=Определились соперники Днепра в квалификации ЛЧ|date=31 May 2014}} Croatia finished third in the group behind Brazil and Mexico and therefore failed to qualify for the next stage.

=Euro 2016=

At Euro 2016 in France, Srna, once again as team captain, played in Croatia's first group stage match against Turkey. Shortly after the match, however, he returned to Croatia upon the news of his father's death during the match. He returned to France to finish the tournament afterwards, to abide by his father's dying wish.{{cite web |last1=Thompson |first1=Wright |title=Darijo Srna mourns father in his own way as Croatia compete at Euro 2016 |url=https://www.espn.com/soccer/european-championship/0/blog/post/2901095/darijo-srna-mourns-father-in-his-own-way-as-croatia-compete-at-euro-2016 |website=ESPN |access-date=9 September 2020 |date=24 June 2016}} Croatia reached the knock-out phase of the tournament, but lost 1–0 to Portugal through an extra-time Ricardo Quaresma goal.

Srna amassed 134 caps and 22 goals for Croatia, which made him the country's most capped player at the time of his retirement.{{cite web |author=Trifunović, Boris|date=9 August 2016|access-date=9 August 2016|work=24sata|language=hr|title=Srna je dobio nasljednika: Luka Modrić novi kapetan Hrvatske|trans-title=Srna has his successor: Modrić is Croatia's new captain|url=http://www.24sata.hr/sport/srna-je-dobio-nasljednika-luka-modric-novi-kapetan-hrvatske-486432}} He held this record for over eight years, until it was overtaken by Luka Modrić in 2021.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/56552534|title=Croatia 1–0 Cyprus|date=27 March 2021|access-date=28 March 2021|work=bbc.com}}
