Gómez made his Cuban national team debut in the 1999 Intercontinental Cup, going 0 for 2 as the backup centerfielder to Yobal Duenas. Gómez still made an impact on the Cup in a very negative way. In the 11th inning, he lost a fly ball from Gary White in the sun, giving White the game-winning single as Peter Vogler raced home. In the 1999-2000 Cuban National Series, he hit .333 to tie Antonio Scull for third in the league.
