International career

Northern Ireland

Born in Dublin, Burns was eligible to represent both Republic of Ireland as well as Northern Ireland at international level, whom he qualified to play for through his Belfast born father.[53] Burns initially represented Northern Ireland U17 following unsuccessful requests to the FAI from his coaches at St Patrick's Athletic to call him up for the Republic of Ireland.[54] His form with Northern Ireland led to an international callup from the Republic of Ireland U17 team who he made his debut for in a 1–1 draw with Turkey U17 in a friendly at Tallaght Stadium on 18 September 2018.[55] 2 days later he scored against the same opposition in a 4–1 win.[56] After not being called up by the Republic of Ireland for their next squad, Burns returned to Northern Ireland and scored his first goals for the country on 30 October 2018 by scoring 2 penalties in a 6–0 win away to San Marino.[57] In November 2019 he scored the winning penalty for Northern Ireland U19 against Northern Ireland U19 in a preparation tournament for the UEFA European Under-19 Championship.[58][59] Following Burns being capped by Northern Ireland in a competitive game it left him with only one change of international allegiance left with FIFA.[54]

Republic of Ireland

In October 2021, Burns revealed he regularly attended the Aviva Stadium as a Republic of Ireland fan[53] and Republic of Ireland U21 manager Jim Crawford revealed that Burns was in the process of changing his international allegiance to the country of his birth, stating "Darragh is keen to play, which is great news for myself and it's in the hands of legal at the minute. That's just standard procedure to get everything over the line, to change an association, and it can be a long process. He's done fantastic with Pat's. The sooner it happens the better. He's somebody that can go again for the next campaign. He's an exciting player to bring in, that's for sure."[60] On 11 March 2022, it was announced that Burns had been called up to the Republic of Ireland U20 squad following the completion of his international allegiance change with FIFA.[61] He made his return to a Republic of Ireland team on 22 March 2022 playing in a friendly against the Republic of Ireland Amateur side at Whitehall Stadium.[62] The following day, he was added to the Republic of Ireland U21 squad for the first time, ahead of their 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification match away to Sweden U21.[63][64] Burns made his Republic of Ireland U21 debut on 16 June 2023, in a 2–2 draw with Ukraine U21 in a friendly played in Bad Blumau, Austria.[65]
