Domínguez is a former Ecuadorian youth international, who represented the country at the 2007 South American U-20 Championship.[3]
Domínguez received his first call-ups for the senior Ecuador national football team in May 2010 for friendlies against Mexico and South Korea. However, he remained an unused substitute. Because of club-related commitments, he would not receive another call-up until February 2011 for a friendly against Honduras. Again, he was an unused substitute. Manager Reinaldo Rueda finally gave Domínguez his first cap on 26 March 2011 in a 2–0 friendly defeat to Colombia.[3] At the 2011 Copa América, he served as back-up to Marcelo Elizaga.
He established himself as Ecuador's first choice goalkeeper during the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign, making 12 appearances for La Tri.[3]
In June 2014, Domínguez was named in Ecuador's squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.[8] On 15 June, he made his FIFA World Cup debut in a 2–1 defeat to Switzerland at the Estádio Nacional Mané Garrincha in Brasília.[9]
On 25 June 2014, Domínguez was named Man of the Match vs. France in Ecuador's final match at the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Domínguez kept a clean sheet and stopped shots from the likes of Karim Benzema, Paul Pogba, and Olivier Giroud.[10][11][12]
In November 2022, Domínguez was named in Ecuador's squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup held in Qatar. He played a fundamental role in the harmonization of the group of players, and was a substitute for all three group stages matches against, Qatar, Netherlands and Senegal.
