Peirsol made his international debut in the 2000 Sydney Olympics, where he earned his first international recognition at senior level. He finished second in the 200-meter backstroke after Lenny Krayzelburg, who dominated the backstroke events. In winning the Silver Medal, Peirsol was considered to be Krayzelburg's successor.
Peirsol won the Gold Medals in the 100-meter and 200-meter backstroke events of the 2004 Summer Olympics. He also helped the United States team win the Gold Medal in the 4x100-meter medley. In the 2008 Summer Olympics, Peirsol managed to defend his 100-meter backstroke title, however he lost to fellow American and teammate Ryan Lochte in the 200-meter backstroke. He helped the United States team defend the Gold Medal in the 4x100-meter medley.
At the 2009 World Aquatics Championships, Peirsol failed to make the final of the 100-meter backstroke. However, he was successful in winning the Gold Medal in the 200-meter backstroke in world record time, and in the 4x100-meter medley, as part of the United States relay team, also in world record time.
