Carlsen made her debut for the senior [[Norway women's national football team]] in June 1988, starting a 2–1 defeat by [[Brazil women's national football team|Brazil]] at the [[1988 FIFA Women's Invitation Tournament]] in [[China]].

In July 1989 Carlsen played in Norway's 4–1 defeat by [[Germany women's national football team|West Germany]] in the [[1989 European Competition for Women's Football]] final. The match was played before 22,000 fans in [[Osnabrück]].
