In May 2017, she was called up to the Scotland squad to compete in the nation's first European Championship finals, and she was the youngest player in the squad.{{Cite web |title=Signeul announces historic Scotland squad |url=https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/news/signeul-announces-historic-scotland-squad/ |access-date=10 May 2023 |website=www.scottishfa.co.uk |archive-date=10 May 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210510151422/https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/news/signeul-announces-historic-scotland-squad/ |url-status=live }} She came on as a substitute in the 63rd minute of the 6–0 defeat by England. In the second game against Portugal, she came on as a substitute in the second half and scored Scotland's first European Championship goal at the 67th minute to equalise. Portugal took the lead again four minutes later, and that was enough for Scotland to lose their second match in a row.{{Cite web |last=UEFA.com |title=Schottland-Portugal {{!}} UEFA Women's EURO 2017 |url=https://de.uefa.com/womenseuro/match/2020909--scotland-vs-portugal/ |access-date=10 May 2023 |website=UEFA |language=de |archive-date=10 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230510225633/https://de.uefa.com/womenseuro/match/2020909--scotland-vs-portugal/ |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |title=Scotland 1-2 Portugal {{!}} UEFA Women's Euro 2017 |url=https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/international-matches/?mid=184171 |access-date=2024-11-02 |website=Scottish FA |archive-date=7 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221007131242/https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/international-matches/?mid=184171 |url-status=live }} Despite the two defeats, they still had a chance to reach the quarter-finals by winning by two goals in the last game against Spain, with England beating Portugal at the same time. England was able to win their game against Portugal, and despite Scotland managing to get a win over Spain with a goal from Caroline Weir, it wasn't enough to qualify for the next round. Cuthbert started the match against Spain a played the full match.{{Cite news |last= |first= |date=2017-07-27 |title=Scotland shock Spain but fall one goal short of Euro 2017 quarter-finals |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jul/27/scotland-spain-euro-2017-match-report |accessdate=2024-11-02 |newspaper=The Guardian |language=en |issn= |archive-date=23 March 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240323131906/https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jul/27/scotland-spain-euro-2017-match-report |url-status=live }}

Cuthbert was one of seven Scots to play all eight games in qualifying for the 2019 World Cup. She was the team's top scorer with four goals, along with Jane Ross. Scotland qualified for the World Cup for the first time, where, as at the European Championship, they met England in their opening game.{{Cite news |title=Scotland Women qualify for World Cup |language=en-GB |work=BBC Sport |url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/45395657 |access-date=11 May 2023 |archive-date=11 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230511014514/https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/45395657 |url-status=live }}

On 15 May 2019, she was selected for the World Cup.{{Cite web |title=Kerr names historic SWNT squad for World Cup |url=https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/news/kerr-names-historic-swnt-squad-for-world-cup/?rid=14258 |access-date=10 May 2023 |website=www.scottishfa.co.uk |archive-date=7 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230407155030/https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/news/kerr-names-historic-swnt-squad-for-world-cup/?rid=14258 |url-status=live }}  At the World Cup, she played in the three group games. After losing 2–1 to England and Japan, Cuthbert scored for Scotland in the final group match with Argentina, firing Scotland into a 3–0 lead.{{cite web |title=Scotland crash out of Women's World Cup after dramatic Argentina comeback |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jun/19/scotland-argentina-womens-world-cup-match-report |access-date=20 June 2019 |work=Guardian |archive-date=20 June 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190620005916/https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jun/19/scotland-argentina-womens-world-cup-match-report |url-status=live }} Scotland then concede three goals, including the decisive third goal in the fourth minute of added time from a retaken penalty kick. As a result, the Scots were eliminated after the group stage.

In the subsequent failed qualification for the Euro 2022, Cuthbert had seven appearances and scored three goals. In the first five games of the 2023 World Cup qualifiers, she was ever-present and scored two goals. In April 2024, she was awarded the SFWA Women's International Player of the Year for her performance in the national team.{{Cite web |date=2024-04-14 |title=Chelsea star Erin Cuthbert clinches SFWA prize |url=https://www.scottishfwa.com/news/2024/4/14/cuthbert-crowned-womens-player-of-the-year |access-date=2024-11-03 |website=SFWA |language=en |archive-date=6 June 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240606152920/https://www.scottishfwa.com/news/2024/4/14/cuthbert-crowned-womens-player-of-the-year |url-status=live }}
