She won the bronze medal at the 2012 UCI Road World Championships in the Women's road race event.[8][9]
On 30 September 2014 it was announced she would ride for Wiggle–Honda in the 2015 season.[10] In August 2018 Longo Borghini confirmed that she would be joining the new Trek–Segafredo for 2019, after the Wiggle team had announced their demise.[11]
In July 2021, she competed in the 137-kilometre (85-mile)-long women's Olympic road race in Tokyo, and won the bronze medal.[12] She followed an attack by Annemiek van Vleuten with 2.1 kilometres (1.3 miles) to go, with Van Vleuten securing second place and Longo Borghini securing third place.[12]
In July 2022, she was named as one of the pre-race favourites for the first edition of the Tour de France Femmes.[13] She ultimately finished the race in sixth place overall.[14]

She is the daughter of cross country skier Guidina Dal Sasso. Her older brother Paolo Longo Borghini also competed professionally as a cyclist,[9] between 2004 and 2014. She is in a relationship with fellow cyclist Jacopo Mosca, who rides for the men's Trek–Segafredo team.[15]
