International

Capped previously at U-16 and U-17 level, Hólmar was a key player at the 2007 European U-17 Championship and, although Iceland failed to make it beyond the group stage, was named by UEFA as one of the tournament's players to watch in future.[14] Those finals in Belgium also saw him show his versatility as he played in a holding midfield role, although he prefers to play at the back.

Hólmar made his U21 debut in November 2007 while still in the U19's and had an instant impact, helping Iceland to their first win of the 2009 European Championship qualifying campaign with a 2–1 victory in Belgium. He was in the starting line-up for the next three games. Though Iceland failed to make the play-offs, he became a regular starter in the U21 team. He scored his first international goal in a 9 October 2011 European Championship qualifier, which Iceland won 8–0 against San Marino. Hólmar received his first call-up to the Iceland national team in May 2012 in a friendly against Sweden
