In 2010, Ingles was part of the Boomers squad that competed at the 2010 FIBA World Championships in Turkey, where the team placed 10th. The young roster saw Patty Mills lead the team in scoring (13.8 ppg) and assists (3.4 apg) and David Andersen finish second on the team in scoring (10.4 ppg) while leading the team in rebounds (7.4 rpg). There, Ingles role increased dramatically for the Boomers, averaging 10 points per game (third on the team) at 63% shooting from the field for the tournament.

Ingles next played for Australia at the 2012 London Olympic Games where he drew the attention of many NBA scouts. With the Boomers losing to Brazil and Spain in the opening round (3-2) they drew the might of Team USA in the crossover game. Despite Patty Mills finishing game high scorer with 26 points, Team USA, which featured superstars Kobe Bryant (20 points), Kevin Durant (14 points) and Lebron James (who recorded a 11 point, 12 rebound, 14 assist triple-double) were too strong, eliminating Australia with a 119-86 victory. USA would go on to win the gold medal, Patty Mills would finish as the leading scorer for the tournament (21.2 ppg) and Australia finished in seventh place. Ingles laveraged 15 points, 5 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game.

Ingles stepped into a leadership role among the Boomers at the 2014 FIBA World Cup, with NBA stars Patty Mills and Andrew Bogut both unavailable due to injuries. Australia would lose their their opening game against Slovenia (80-90). The went on to defeat South Korea (55-89), Lithuania (82-75) and Mexico (62-70) before controversially losing to Angola. After Australia had led the game by ten at the half, they would lose the game (83-91) and fall to third place in their pool, and allowing them to avoid USA until the semi finals. This set them up to face Turkey in the crossover games, which they lost, 64-65, finishing in twelfth place (3-3). a investigation into Australias alleged tanking was undertaken, with Boomers coach Andrej Lemanis rejecting the accusation, saying he rested his players for the next stage due to the heavy tournament schedule. On 26 November 2014, Australia was cleared of tanking by FIBA.

In 2016, Ingles was selected for the Boomers squad that competed at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Alongside Patty Mills (21.3 ppg and 1.7 apg) and Aron Baynes (9.6 ppg and 5.8 rpg), who would lead the team in scoring, Ingles (7.8 ppg, 3 rpg, and 3 apg) helped Australia reach the semi finals for the first time since 2000. There, Australia would lose to Serbia (61-87) setting up a bronze medal game against Spain. In a game where Australia would be forced to play without Andrew Bogut for the entire second half due to foul trouble and a number of controversial referee calls at the end of the game, Spain was able to gain control of the ball for the final play, giving the Boomers no choice but to foul. Spains Sergio Rodriguez made two free throws with 5.4 seconds left and the Boomers lost (88-89) to finish in fourth-place (equalling Australias best-ever finish in the Olympics).

Ingles returned to play for the Boomers as part of the 2019 FIBA World Cup squad. In their opening pool, Australia was able to win all three games, defeating Canada (92–108), Senegal (81–68) and Lithuania (87-82). Behind the high scoring of Patty Mills (22.8 ppg), Aron Baynes (11.4 ppg) and Ingles (10.5 ppg), the Boomers continued through the second round undefeated, notching up wins against Dominican Republic (82-76) and France (100-98). A victory of Czech Republic (82-70) in the Quarter-finals saw the Boomers face Spain in the semifinals in a rematch of the previous years Olympics bronze medal game. Spain trailed for much of the game but surged in the fourth quarter and took the lead 71-70 when Pau Gasol hit two free throws with 8.7 seconds to play in regulation. Mills had two free throws to win the game with 4.8 seconds to play, but he missed the second after making the first to send the game into overtime (71-71). Both teams had chances to win in regulation and in the first overtime, which ended 80-80. It was two 3-point shots by Llull in the second overtime that pushed Spain to one of its largest leads of the game to defeat Australia (95-88) and advance to the gold medal game against the USA. Australia would face lose to France in the bronze medal game (67–59).

Ingles would represent Australia again at the 2020 Olympics (Japan) where they started their campaign by going undefeated, with wins against defeating Nigeria (84–67), Italy (86-83) and Germany (89–76). Behind the offensive firepower of Patty Mills (19 points), Australia then defeated Argentina (97–59) to advance to the semi finals. There, they would record their only loss for the tournament, to a star studded US team (97–78) which featured Kevin Durant (23 points), Devin Booker (20 points) and Jayson Tatum (11 points). Mills (20 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists) was again the top scorer for Australia. This set up a game against Slovenia for the bronze medal, where Luka Doncic (22 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists) and Mills (42 points, 3 rebounds, and 9 assists) led their respective countries in scoring, with Mills and the Boomers winning the bronze medal (107-93) and making history by securing the Boomers first Olympic medal. Ingles (16 points and 9 rebounds), Jock Landale (14 points and 5 rebounds) and Matisse Thybulle (11 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals) were also key contributors in the medal winning game.
