Stack stepped down after leading the Roscommon champions to their first decider since 2013, which they lost narrowly to Glen on Sunday.
Cunningham previously guided St Brigid’s to the 2006 Connacht title. They also won three county championships under his watch, from 2005 to 2007.
Since then, Cunningham has managed the Galway hurlers and Roscommon footballers, along with club sides Garrycastle and Portarlington.
His son John plays for St Brigid’s and featured as a substitute in Sunday’s 2-10 to 1-12 defeat to Glen at Croke Park.
Cunningham is a native of Galway, but a long-term resident in Kiltoom. He will be joined by Eoin Mooney, James Martin and Niall Kelly on his management team.
