Ulster Rugby

Cunningham played one game in 1997 coming off the bench for his Ulster debut when Ulster were thrashed 56-3 by London Wasps. He came off the bench again in Ulster's 50-5 win against Morocco in 1998. He did it again by coming on against Leinster and against Toulouse. He was also part of the Ulster team that won the 1998-99 Heineken Cup against Colomiers, playing as a replacement in the final.[2]

Playing style

Cunningham played with intensity and was extremely fast. He usually played at full-back but could play on the wing or in the centre. He was also a very good tackler most recognized when doing a try saving tackle against Munster.

Administration

As of 2018, Cunningham is the Operations Director for Ulster Rugby.
