In June 2023, Maguire earned maiden call-up for national team for the series against West Indies.[4] She made her WODI debut on 1 July and made her WT20I debut on 4 July 2023 in same series against West Indies.[5][6] In August 2023, she was selected for the series against Netherlands but after 1st T20I she was ruled out of the series due to injury and was replaced by Sophie MacMahon.[7] In October 2023, she was named in T20I squad for the series against Scotland.[8][9]
