Despite opposition from Scottish Football Association with regard to Scottish players playing on a British team, Little was strongly in favour of participating in the Great Britain team at the 2012 London Olympics: "I don't see why anyone would want to stop a player from playing at a massive tournament like the Olympics, it's the biggest sporting event ever.
If I get the opportunity I'll grab it with both hands – I would definitely play."

Little was called up to the 18-player squad, one of only two non-English players chosen by team manager Hope Powell, the other being fellow Scot Ifeoma Dieke.
Little chose not to sing the national anthem of the United Kingdom before the team's first competitive game, a 1–0 win against New Zealand.
The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported that the British Olympic Association were angered by this.
Hope Powell said she was not concerned, as some players prefer not to interrupt their pre-match preparation by singing the anthem.
Two male Welsh footballers also made personal decisions to not sing the anthem.

Little provided two assists in the team's second group stage match, a 3–0 win against Cameroon.
After winning all three matches and finishing at the top of the table for Group E in the group stage of the tournament, Great Britain advanced to the quarter finals where they faced Canada in front of 28,828 spectators at City of Coventry Stadium.
Little started the match and played for 82 minutes, but Great Britain lost 2–0 and were knocked out of the tournament.
