[1] Larsen made her debut with the national team in June 1992 against Denmark, seventeen years old, when Sven-Tore Jacobsen was head coach.

[2] Her first major tournament came when Marit Breivik selected her for the 1994 European Championship in Germany, where she won a bronze medal.

[3] She continued playing for Larvik mostly on defense, as her knees could not tolerate the heavier stress of the offensive game.

[6] As a side effect of the years she spent injured, Larsen is now considered to be an excellent defense player.

[7] She made her comeback to the national team in 2008, winning a gold medal both at the Summer Olympics in Beijing[8] and at the European Championship held in December in the Republic of Macedonia, where she also made the official All-Star Team as the Best left back of the championship.
