How many hat-tricks has Ronaldo scored for the Portugal national team? Cristiano Ronaldo has scored ten hat-tricks for Portugal.
His first Portugal hat-trick came on 6 September 2013 against Northern Ireland in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier. He completed the run of ten on 12 October 2021, scoring three times against Luxembourg in a 2022 World Cup qualifier.
The total includes matches in which Ronaldo scored four goals, because a hat-trick means scoring at least three times in one match. He scored four against Andorra in 2016 and four against Lithuania in 2019. Those performances therefore count as hat-tricks as well as four-goal games.
Ronaldo's ten international hat-tricks made him Portugal's record holder by a wide margin. The figure is sometimes confused with his much larger number of club hat-tricks, especially those recorded during his Real Madrid career. This question counts only competitive and friendly matches played for Portugal.
