It means appearances for your national team.

Penmaster is incorrect about the literal caps. It used to be the case, but no longer.

It means appearances. At international level, players are actually awarded a cap (as in one you put on your head) for each appearance they make, hence the term caps used for appearances.

i think it's the number of appearances a player made for his international game ( playing for his country, not his club )
