In 2011, he and the rest of the national team won the silver medal at the World Cup.[5] On July 8, 2012, the Polish national team (with Winiarski on the team roster) won the gold medal of the World League 2012 in Sofia, Bulgaria.[6][7] So far, he has played 212 matches in the Polish national team (as of September 24, 2013).
