Paolo Guerrero's career with the Peruvian national team began in the doomed Germany 2006 campaign, but he managed to score twice for the national side. His first goal became the winner against Chile in Lima's Estadio Nacional. It was followed by a first minute goal in the next match against Ecuador in the same venue, though the Ecuadorians fought back to secure a 2–2 away draw. However, Guerrero was ruled out of Peru's first two 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying games because of injury. A further blow to Peru was laid down by FIFA when Guerrero was suspended 6 games for insulting the referee during the Uruguay vs. Peru game in June 2008. The suspension started with the Peru vs. Venezuela game in September.

Following Peru's disastrous qualifying campaign for the 2010 World Cup, José del Solar was replaced by Uruguayan manager Sergio Markarian and Guerrero was called up for the 2011 Copa America. In line of an injured Pizarro, Guerrero played as the team's starting striker in the Competition and scored five times, one each against Uruguay and Mexico followed by a hat trick against Venezuela in the Third Place play Off match which Peru won 4-1. He became the tournament's leading goalscorer.
