Coyne was brought into the Australian squad for the World Cup 2010 qualifiers against Iraq and Qatar in June 2008. He impressed in training with Australia manager Pim Verbeek saying: "Chris is a leader, a tough defender. I think he can play at a higher level, but we shall see. I think it’s better to play a little bit more organised in the backline, and then we can use a player like Chris." He made his debut for Australia in the 0–1 defeat to Iraq in Dubai, impressing with the way he marshalled the defence, leading Verbeek to praise him again, saying, "He's an experienced player, he knows what he's doing and he's made a good impression on us. He's a leader. He's a very good header, he's never in panic." Coyne next played in the friendly games against South Africa in August 2008, and against The Netherlands in September 2008. He followed these with a strong performance against Uzbekistan in Australia's 1–0 victory in their opening final stage pool game for the 2010 World Cup in September 2008. His fifth appearance for the Australia national team came in the 1–0 win against Bahrain in November 2008. His next appearances were in June 2009 as Australia drew with Qatar to secure their place in the 2010 World Cup finals in South Africa, and followed that up a few days later with a 2–0 win over Bahrain. He and teammate Harry Kewell were rested for the final World Cup qualifying match against Japan a week later.

In 2014, he was rewarded with coaching duties for the WA State Team, for the Call To Arms Cup match against Perth Glory, where the State Team scored a rare win In 2016, he again coached the State Team, along with assistant coach Steven McGarry.
