In the national team

Delphine Cascarino went through the youth and junior selection of the French association from May 2012 and established herself as a regular player at an early stage. Her first two of a total of 22 games in the U-16 / U-17 were against the German contemporaries, and in the second game, a 1-1 draw in Heidelberg , the 15-year-old scored her first goal in this group. In the same year, she also won the world title with France's U-17s .

For the A-youth selection (U-19), Cascarino was on the field in 23 matches from the beginning of 2015 and scored a total of six hits. In both 2015 and 2016 she was seeded at the respective European championships; however, she was seriously injured in the first group game in 2015 after just 30 minutes and had to return to France early. Nevertheless, by reaching the semi-finals, the French qualified for the U-20 World Cup in Papua New Guinea in 2016 . A year later, however, she played all five games at the European Championship in Slovakia and won the European title with her teammates.
With the U-20 selection, Delphine Cascarino has played eight games so far, six of them at the 2016 FIFA World Cup with two goals of her own, where France only lost in the final. She scored a very remarkable and game-winning goal in the quarter-finals against defending champions Germany .

The then coach Philippe Bergeroo appointed her to the French national team back in January 2016; however, it was not yet used at the time. She made her debut in this circle in October 2016, when Bergeroo's successor Olivier Echouafni came on for the last ten minutes in a friendly against England . However, her injury and her low number of appearances in the club cost her a call to the French European Championship squad . Only under Echouafni's successor Corinne Diacre did she start more frequently at the Bleues and was also appointed to the French 23-man squad for the 2019 World Cup in her own country .

For France she has appeared a total of 24 times and scored five goals. (As of March 7, 2020) She commented on her two goals in the 4-0 win against Denmark two months before the start of the 2019 World Cup with the words: "I wanted to show that I can not only provide good templates".
