Hernández made his debut for Mexico in September 2009 in a match against Colombia and represented them at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup and the 2014 FIFA World Cup. He was the Gold Cup's top scorer with 7 goals and was named the most valuable player of the tournament. Hernández is the (joint) third highest goal-scorer of all time for the Mexican national team. At the tender age of 9, he signed with C.D. Guadalajara and subsequently signed his first professional contract when he was just 15. He was set to play in the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship, but an injury sidelined him from the team—that ultimately won the championship.

His international career in Mexico racked up 36 goals between 2009 and 2014. Hernández is commonly known by his nickname Chicharito, meaning "Little Pea" in Spanish—a name given to him by his father because of Javier's green eyes.
