The third preseason game was a 2–1 victory against a combination side from Malmö, composed of players from Enighet, Sparta, and Malmö FF, in which Jørgensen scored both of 1903's goals. He recorded his fourth game in a row with two goals or better in 1903's final preseason game,…
Jørgensen made his first appearance for Denmark on 28 August 1920, in a 1–0 first round loss to eventual runners-up Spain at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Belgium. He would go on to make 12 more appearances for his country, including at the 1924–28 Nordic Football Championship, which was won by Denmark. Jørgensen's first international goal came on 30 September 1923 in an international friendly against Norway, scoring the winning goal in a 2–1 victory following Norwegian goalkeeper Hugo Hofstad's poor clearance. He scored again on 14 October in a friendly against Sweden, opening the scoring on 20 minutes before providing an assist to Karl Wilhelmsen in the 87th minute of a 3–1 victory.
