Bill Cunningham

William Anthony Joseph Cunningham (27 March 1900 — 13 December 1959) was an Ireland and British Lions international rugby union player active in the 1920s.

Cunningham was born in Dublin and attended Belvedere College, where he picked up rugby.

A halfback, Cunningham played his rugby for Lansdowne and was capped eight times for Ireland. He was used as an out-half for his first two years and scored the winning try in a 1921 Five Nations match against Scotland at Lansdowne Road. Jim Wheeler took over as Ireland's out-half in 1922, with Cunningham tried at scrum-half, having combined well with Wheeler in the trials. He finished his Ireland career the following year with eight caps. He played the third Test match against the Springboks at Port Elizabeth, scoring their only try in a 3–3 draw.
