Moore signed with the Spanish club Ros Casares Valencia for the 2011–2012 season. She joined the team late due to her title run with the Lynx.

Moore was invited to the USA Basketball Women's National Team training camp in the fall of 2009, one of only three college players and the only junior to be invited to the training camp. The team selected to participate at the 2010 FIBA World Championship and the 2012 Olympics was chosen from these players. At the conclusion of the training camp, the team traveled to Ekaterinburg, Russia, where they competed in the 2009 UMMC Ekaterinburg International Invitational.

Moore was one of twenty players named to the national team pool. Twelve of this group were chosen to represent the US at the 2010 World Championships and the 2012 Olympics.File:Maya Moore White Team.jpg

The USA National team began training in April 2010 to prepare for the FIBA World Championship starting in September 2010. Moore was one of the players selected for the training sessions, run by the national team coach Geno Auriemma. The teams played informal scrimmages, with one team made up of the players expected to be on the national team, and the other team made up of invited all-star college players, referred to as the select team. Although Moore was still in college, she was invited to be part of the national team. In the first two ten-minute games, Moore played with the national team and helped them to two wins. Then Moore switched jerseys, and played for the select team. In both games, the select team won, with Moore making the assist to put the team ahead, then stealing the ball and making the game winning shot in the final seconds. Moore ended up being on the winning side in all four games.

Moore was named as one of the national team members to represent the USA Basketball team in the WNBA versus USA Basketball. This game replaced the WNBA All-Star game with WNBA All-Stars versus USA Basketball, as part of the preparation for the FIBA World Championship for Women to be held in the Czech Republic during September and October 2010. Moore was selected to be a member of the National team representing the US at the World Championship. The team was coached by Geno Auriemma. Because many team members were still playing in the WNBA until just prior to the event, the team had only one day of practice with the entire team before leaving for Ostrava and Karlovy Vary. Even with limited practice, the team managed to win its first game against Greece by 26 points. The team continued to dominate with victory margins exceeding 20 points in the first five games. Several players shared scoring honors, with Swin Cash, Angel McCoughtry, Moore, Diana Taurasi, Lindsay Whalen, and Sylvia Fowles all ending as high scorer in the first few games. The sixth game was against undefeated Australia — the US jumped out to a 24-point lead and ultimatelynprevailed 83–75. Team USA won its next two games by over 30 points, then faced the host team, the Czech Republic, in the championship game. The US team had only a five-point lead at halftime, which was then cut to three points, but the Czechs never got closer. Team USA went on to win the championship and gold medal. Moore averaged 8.7 points per game.

Moore was one of 21 finalists for the 2012 U.S. Women's Olympic Basketball Team Roster. The 20 WNBA players, plus one collegiate player (Brittney Griner), were selected by the USA Basketball Women's National Team Player Selection Committee to compete for the final roster to represent the US at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Moore won a gold medal with Team USA in 2012, in doing so joining Sheryl Swoopes, Cynthia Cooper-Dyke, Ruth Riley, Tamika Catchings and fellow UConn alums Kara Wolters, Swin Cash, Sue Bird, and Diana Taurasi on the elite list of female basketball players to have won NCAA titles, WNBA Championships and Olympic gold medals.

Moore was one of 33 finalists for the U.S. Women's FIBA World Championship roster. The 32 WNBA players, plus one collegiate player (Breanna Stewart), were selected by the USA Basketball Women's National Team Player Selection Committee to compete for the final roster to represent the US at the FIBA World Championship for Women in Turkey during September and October 2014. Moore made the final roster of 12 players, announced on September 23, 2014.{{cite web|url=http://www.usab.com/news-events/news/2014/09/2014-usa-basketball-world-championship-team-roster-finalized.aspx|title=2014 USA Basketball World Championship Team Roster Finalized|publisher=USA Basketball|date=September 23, 2014|access-date=September 23, 2014|archive-date=September 24, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140924113847/http://www.usab.com/news-events/news/2014/09/2014-usa-basketball-world-championship-team-roster-finalized.aspx|url-status=dead}} Moore won the gold medal with the team in 2014, having now won 3 gold medals with the U.S. team.

On July 9, 2016, Moore spoke along with co-captain Rebekkah Brunson at a news conference about the warm up shirts the Minnesota Lynx wore that day to highlight Black Lives Matter and call for change.{{Cite web |date=2016-07-09 |title=Lynx acknowledge shooting victims with shirts |url=https://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/16933329/maya-moore-minnesota-lynx-wear-shirts-honor-police-shooting-victims-philando-castile-alton-sterling |access-date=2023-12-23 |website=ESPN.com |language=en}} The black shirts said "Change starts with us - Justice and Accountability" on the front; the back of the shirts had the names of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling, who had been killed in confrontations with police that week. The shirts also included the Dallas police shield to recognize the recent mass shooting in that Texas city where five police officers were killed following a Black Lives Matter demonstration. The Lynx shirts and news conference were an early Black Lives Matter protest among athletes.{{citation needed|date=July 2024}}

Moore is a Christian. Moore has spoken about her faith, saying "Even though I've got a lot of awards and honors, it's nothing compared to what The Lord has done to my heart and what He's done for the world" and "I'm grateful to have the platform of an elite student-athlete and professional basketball player, and I want to do His will with my life."{{Cite web|url=https://www.fca.org/themagazine/moores-encore/|title=Moore's Encore|website=www.FCA.org |date=May 1, 2012 |access-date=May 19, 2022 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140322111728/http://www.fca.org/themagazine/moores-encore/ |archive-date=March 22, 2014}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.beyondtheultimate.org/athlete/Maya-Moore|title=Maya Moore|website=www.beyondtheultimate.org|access-date=March 22, 2014|archive-date=August 24, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160824125404/http://www.beyondtheultimate.org/athlete/Maya-Moore|url-status=dead}}

Moore was the subject of an ESPN Sports Science video clip, discussing her vertical leap, court vision, and muscle memory. They discussed her ability to steal, noting that she can move her hands faster than the striking speed of a rattlesnake.
