When Ronnie was called in to participate in a game against England on May 9, 1997 at San Jose, California, it became the first time a pair of sisters played together on the USWNT.

While a senior in high school, at the age of 17, she was named an alternate for the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games team (which won gold at the tournament).

Fair rejected the chance to travel as an alternate because she was upset at being cut from national coach Tony DiCicco's main 16 player squad.

She played every minute of the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, taking home a silver medal after an overtime loss to Norway in the championship game.

Fair played for the Philadelphia Charge in the WUSA (2001–2003),[2] Olympique Lyonnais in Lyon, France (2005),[7] and Chelsea FC in the UK (2008–2009).

[10] Fair, along with her twin sister Ronnie, is part of the ownership group of Angel City FC of the National Women's Soccer League.
