On August 4, 2018 she signed a 5-year contract extension with Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC.[7]

Rubensson made her debut for the Swedish national team in October 2012.[8][9] She was named to Sweden's squad for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup and appeared in 4 matches. Rubensson appeared in all 6 matches for Sweden at the 2016 Summer Olympics and won the Silver Medal.[10]

In July 2017 Rubensson was named to the Sweden roster for the UEFA Women's Euro 2017, she appeared in two matches as Sweden lost to the Netherlands in the Quarterfinals.[11] She scored in the 5-1 win over Thailand at the 2019 Women's World Cup.[12]
