Tomas Eriksson has played for the Swedish national team. In the 1994 Baseball World Cup, Sweden's first Baseball World Cup, he pitched one inning, allowing a solo homer. In the 1995 European Championship, he walked five and allowed four runs in 2 1/3 IP; he also hit a batter and threw a wild pitch. During the 2001 European Championship, he went 0-2 with a 6.08 ERA despite 13 strikeouts in 13 1/3 IP. He tied for fifth in the event in strikeouts.
During either the 2003 or 2005 Elitserien, Eriksson was 6-3 with a 3.72 ERA; the Swedish baseball statistics site gives the same line both years, the only season from 2003-2007 he is listed as playing.
In the 2005 Baseball World Cup, Eriksson gave up 14 hits and 13 runs in 6 2/3 IP. Most of the damage came when Tomas was the sacrificial lamb called on to start against the Cuban national team; he surrendered 10 runs in a loss, allowing 2 homers to Yulieski Gourriel and one to Eriel Sanchez.
