His debut for the [[New Zealand national rugby union team|All Blacks]] was against [[Ireland national rugby union team|Ireland]] on 9 June 2012, during [[2012 Ireland rugby union tour of New Zealand|their tour of New Zealand]].<ref name="Savea, Smith and Retallick to make debut against Ireland">{{cite press release|url=http://www.allblacks.com/news/19574/Savea-Smith-and-Retallick-to-make-debut-against-Ireland|title=Savea, Smith and Retallick to make debut against Ireland|website=allblacks.com|date=7 June 2012|access-date=12 March 2022|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120608042027/http://www.allblacks.com:80/news/19574/Savea-Smith-and-Retallick-to-make-debut-against-Ireland|archive-date=8 June 2012|df=dmy-all}}</ref> Retallick started on debut, in a locking combination with [[Sam Whitelock]], a combination that has been regularly used by the All Blacks ever since Retallick's debut, which ended in a 42–10 win for New Zealand. Retallick played in every match for the All Blacks, either from the bench or starting, in the [[2012 Rugby Championship]], playing 13 games for the national side in total for the 2012 season.<ref>{{cite web|title=Brodie Retallick|url=http://www.allblacks.com/Player/Index/2131?team=AllBlacks|work=AllBlacks.com|publisher=NZRU|access-date=23 September 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141102025957/http://allblacks.com/Player/Index/2131?team=AllBlacks|archive-date=2 November 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref>

He cemented his place in the side on 14 September 2013, winning the award for Man of the Match against South Africa. Retallick scored a try in the 22nd minute, which was the first of his international career, and played the full 80 minutes, as the All Blacks beat South Africa 29–15.<ref name="Match centre: New Zealand v South Africa">{{cite web|url=https://super.rugby/therugbychampionship/match-centre/?competition=214&season=2014&match=2638|title=Match centre: New Zealand v South Africa|work=SANZAAR|date=14 September 2013|access-date=13 March 2022}}</ref>

Retallick was selected by head coach [[Steve Hansen]] as one of 31 players for New Zealand's squad for the [[2015 Rugby World Cup|2015 World Cup]] after a string of outstanding performances for the All Blacks and the Chiefs. Retallick played well during the competition, earning him a starting spot for the quarter-final against France on 17 October 2015. Retallick scored the opening try against France in the 11th minute and lasted the full 80 minutes of the quarter-final as the All Blacks beat France by a record 62–13. Retallick played the full 80 minutes of both the semi-final, a 20–18 win over South Africa, and the final on 31 October, when the All Blacks beat Australia 34–17, becoming the first team to win three Rugby World Cups.
===2016–2017=== Retallick was subbed off towards the end of the last Bledisloe Cup test against Australia, on 22 October 2016, in Auckland, following a concussion caused by [[Dean Mumm]] elbowing him. This saw Retallick miss a test against Ireland on the end of year tour that year. The first test against Ireland in Chicago was the only test Retallick missed that year. Retallick returned to test rugby with a solid performance off the bench in the 68–10 win against Italy and returned to his starting position in the second test against Ireland in Dublin, on 19 November 2016. New Zealand beat Ireland in the second test, with a 21–9 win.
Retallick was selected as one of the 33 players for the All Blacks to face Samoa and the touring [[British & Irish Lions]] in [[2017 British & Irish Lions tour to New Zealand|2017]].<ref>{{cite web |title= All Blacks Squad for DHL NZ Lions series |url= http://www.allblacks.com/News/30915/all-blacks-squad-for-dhl-nz-lions-series |work= Stuff.co.nz |date= 8 June 2017 |publisher= allblacks.com |access-date= 18 December 2018 |archive-date= 10 June 2017 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20170610233639/http://www.allblacks.com/News/30915/all-blacks-squad-for-dhl-nz-lions-series |url-status= dead }}</ref> Retallick took over as captain of the All Blacks for the final 20 minutes of the 78–0 thrashing of Samoa, following captain [[Ben Smith (rugby union)|Ben Smith]] being subbed off for debutant [[Jordie Barrett]]. Retallick was arguably the best performing New Zealander in the Lions series, dominating the Lions in all three tests of the drawn series, which finished on 8 July, with a 15–15 stalemate.<ref>{{cite web|title= New Zealand 30-15 British and Irish Lions: first Test player ratings |url= https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2017/jun/24/new-zealand-british-and-irish-lions-first-test-player-ratings |author= Gerard Meagher |date=24 June 2017|work= theguardian|access-date= 18 December 2018 }}</ref>
Prior to being rested for a test against Argentina in Buenos Aires for the [[2017 Rugby Championship]], Retallick had played every minute of every All Blacks test in 2017. Retallick did not play in 2017 again, following the previous fixture, however, which was a 57–0 win against South Africa, where he scored his fourth test try, because of personal reasons. [[Patrick Tuipulotu]] was recalled to the All Blacks following Retallick's personal issues. Rookie lock [[Scott Barrett (rugby union)|Scott Barrett]] became a regular starter for the All Blacks in Retallick's absence.
===2018=== Retallick returned to playing rugby for the Chiefs in the [[2018 Super Rugby season]] and scored the first double of his Super Rugby career on 16 March 2018, returning from an eye injury, to enable a Chiefs comeback to beat the Bulls 41–28. He finished the competition with six tries (second-to-most in the Chiefs for the season).<ref>{{cite web|title= Leading try scorers Super Rugby 2018 |url=https://rugby.statbunker.com/competitions/LeadingTryScorers?comp_id=573|publisher=rugby.statbunker.com|access-date= 18 December 2018 }}</ref>
Retallick missed the [[2018 France rugby union tour of New Zealand|2018 series]] against France due to a pectoral injury. Retallick was re-selected for the All Blacks for the [[2018 Rugby Championship]]. Retallick played his first test of 2018, on 18 August, when the All Blacks beat Australia 38–13 in Sydney. Retallick played the full 80 minutes and scored a try in the 51st minute. Retallick won the award for Man of the Match, earning him comparisons to late All Black great, [[Colin Meads]].<ref>{{cite web|author=Alex Powell|title=Opinion: Sorry Beauden, but Brodie Retallick is the best rugby player on the planet|url= https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/sport/rugby/opinion-sorry-beauden-but-brodie-retallick-best-rugby-player-planet|publisher=TVNZ|access-date=8 October 2018|date=17 September 2018}}</ref> Retallick's try against the Wallabies later went on to win him the award for [[IRP Try of the Year]].
He played three tests during the 2018 Rugby Championship, being replaced only nine minutes into the first test against Argentina, on 8 September 2018. Retallick was replaced by [[Sam Whitelock]], with the All Blacks winning 46–24. Retallick missed the rest of the competition due to the injury suffered against Argentina.
New Zealand had Retallick back in the squad in time for the [[2018 end-of-year rugby union internationals|2018 end-of-year tour]], where he featured in four tests. He replaced [[Sam Whitelock]] off the bench against Australia in the third Bledisloe Cup test, which was a win, 37–20. Retallick then displaced [[Scott Barrett (rugby union)|Scott Barrett]] for the tests against England and Ireland. Retallick was Man of the Match against England in a narrow 16–15 win, with England back-rower [[Sam Underhill]] denied a winning try.<ref>{{cite web|author=Jack de Menzes|title=England vs New Zealand player ratings: Brodie Retallick leads the way as All Blacks snatch victory|url= https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-union/international/england-vs-new-zealand-player-ratings-result-final-score-retallick-farrell-hartley-ashton-a8628111.html |work=The independent|access-date=18 December 2018|date=10 November 2018}}</ref>
Although he was the best player on the field against England, Retallick was unable to play the same way the following week, on 17 November 2018. That day, Ireland beat the All Blacks, with Retallick performing poorly in their 9–16 loss.<ref>{{cite web|author=Sam Warlow|title=All Blacks Player Ratings v Ireland|date=17 November 2018 |url= https://www.rugbypass.com/news/all-blacks-player-ratings-v-ireland/|publisher=rugbypass.com|access-date=18 December 2018}}</ref> Retallick finished the season off with a better performance against Italy, where he replaced Scott Barrett off the bench in a 66–3 win.
===2019=== Retallick was named as the Chiefs' co-captain, alongside his injured All Blacks teammate, [[Sam Cane]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Cane and Retallick announced as co-captains for 2019|url=https://www.chiefs.co.nz/news-item/cane-and-retallick-announced-as-co-captains-for-2019 |access-date=15 March 2020}}</ref> Although the Chiefs performed poorly throughout the season, Retallick returned from injuries to guide the team to the playoffs.
Having been retained in New Zealand's squad for the [[2019 Rugby Championship]], Retallick played two tests during the competition. Retallick scored his fifth test try against Argentina in a scrappy 20–16 win, but was subbed off against South Africa the following week, having dislocated his shoulder during the 16–16 draw. Retallick was replaced by Hurricanes loose forward, [[Vaea Fifita]], but was not injured badly.<ref>{{cite web|title=Brodie Retallick's shoulder injury could provide lifeline for fringe All Black locks|url= https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/all-blacks/114575137/all-blacks-brodie-retallicks-injury-could-provide-lifeline-for-fringe-locks |access-date=15 March 2020}}</ref> Blues Captain, [[Patrick Tuipulotu]], became a regular starter in Retallick's absence.
On 28 August, All Blacks Head Coach, [[Steve Hansen]] named Retallick as one of 31 players in New Zealand's squad for the [[2019 Rugby World Cup]]. <ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.allblacks.com/news/all-blacks-squad-named-for-rugby-world-cup-2019/ |title = All Blacks squad named for Rugby World Cup 2019 | publisher = allblacks.com | access-date = 29 September 2019}}</ref> Although still recovering from his shoulder injury, this was set to be Retallick's second World Cup. Retallick started in all four tests he played during the World Cup, including the playoffs. After New Zealand lost the semi-final to England, 7–19, Retallick went on to win Man of The Match in the Bronze Final, where they beat Wales 40–17 to claim third place.
===2020–2021=== On 11 June 2019, Retallick re-signed with New Zealand Rugby for another three years. His contract contained a clause that allowed him to play two seasons in [[Japan]]’s [[Top League]].<ref name="Retallick signs new deal to extend his career">{{cite press release|url=https://www.allblacks.com/news/retallick-signs-new-deal-to-extend-his-career|title=Retallick signs new deal to extend his career|website=allblacks.com |date=11 June 2019|access-date=12 March 2022}}</ref> During the [[2020 Top League|2020]] and [[2021 Top League|2021]] Top League seasons, he played a total of 15 games for [[Kobelco Steelers]].<ref name="Brodie Retallick Japan Rugby Player Profile">{{cite web|url=http://en.rugby-japan.jp/schedule/player/322203/| title=Brodie Retallick Japan Rugby Player Profile|website=Japan Rugby Football Union|language=en|access-date=12 March 2022}}</ref>
