Border made his Test debut against England in December 1978 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. His first century came three months later against Pakistan at the same venue. Border's 27 Test hundreds were scored at 14 different grounds; 14 hundreds were made at venues outside Australia. In Tests, he was most successful against England accumulating eight centuries.{{cite web|title=Statistics / Statsguru / AR Border / Test matches / Career summary|url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/4174.html?class=1;template=results;type=allround|work=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=27 December 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130122221255/http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/4174.html?class=1;template=results;type=allround|archive-date=22 January 2013}} Border's highest score of 205 – one of his two double centuries – came against New Zealand at the Adelaide Oval in 1987. As of 2012, he is thirteenth overall in the list of most hundreds in Test cricket.{{cite web|title=Records / Test matches / Batting records / Most hundreds in a career|url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/227046.html|work=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=27 December 2012}}

In ODI cricket, Border scored his first century against India in 1980, when he made 105 not out. The performance ensured Australia's victory and he was named "Man of the match".{{cite web|title=Statistics / Statsguru / AR Border / One-Day Internationals / Match awards|url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/4174.html?class=2;template=results;type=allround;view=awards_match|work=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=27 December 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130122085703/http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/4174.html?class=2;template=results;type=allround;view=awards_match|archive-date=22 January 2013}} Border went on to score two more centuries until the end of his career – the first of them came against Sri Lanka (118) and the last one against West Indies (127), which was also his highest score in the format – he remained not out on both occasions.
