Keiron Cunningham (born October 28, 1976 in St. Helens, Merseyside) is a rugby league player who plays for St Helens as hooker.
The youngest of ten siblings, Keiron Cunningham was born five months after his brother, Eddie Cunningham, had won a Rugby League Challenge Cup winners medal for St Helens against Widnes.
Hailing from the Thatto Heath district of St Helens, Cunningham signed for his home town club from amateur club Wigan St Jude’s in 1993 and made his first-team debut the following year.
Cunningham soon established himself as a world class hooker, renowned for his powerful dynamic running from dummy-half and ability to poach tries from short distance. He has represented both Great Britain and Wales in internationals. Cunningham qualifies for Wales because of a Welsh grandfather.
In 2006 Cunningham made his 350th appearance for St Helens to whom he has been a loyal servant. He has rejected offers from the Welsh Rugby Union and from various Australian Rugby League clubs.
