A fly-half, McAleese made his only international Test appearance in a 1992 Five Nations match against France at Parc des Princes, where he had the team's goal-kicking duties and scored all of Ireland's points, not missing any of his four attempts at goal, in what was a heavy loss.[3] He took part in Ireland's 1992 tour of New Zealand which followed.[4]
