The following is a list of international ice hockey competitions where National Hockey League players have been able to participate.

The Summit Series was an eight game challenge series between the Soviet National Team and a Canadian team made up of NHL hockey players. No World Hockey Association players were included in the event. Two years later, the World Hockey Association competed in the 1974 Summit Series and were defeated by the Soviets, but with no NHLers. There were however, some former NHLers playing for the WHA in the series.

The Super Series were exhibition games between Soviet teams and NHL teams that took place on each NHL opponents' home ice in North America from 1976 to 1991.

IIHF World Championships
| It has been suggested that this article be merged with Ice Hockey World Championships. (Discuss) Proposed since June 2008. |
Since 1977 there has been no limit to how many NHL players countries can send to the IIHF World Championships, but the tournament is usually played during the NHL playoffs. Because of the NHL lockout starting in 2004, all NHL players were available to participate in the 2005 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships. Many players did however not participate because they had not played for a full season, and were therefore not in "game shape".
Victoria Cup
The Victoria Cup is a new ice hockey tournament organized by the International Ice Hockey Federation and intended for teams of the Champions Hockey League and the National Hockey League. The inaugural Cup was a single game playoff between the 2008 IIHF European Champions Cup winners, Metallurg Magnitogorsk, and New York Rangers of the NHL. It was held in Berne, Switzerland on October 1, 2008.
| Year | Winner | Runner-up |
|---|---|---|
| 2008 | New York Rangers | Metallurg Magnitogorsk |
