Galway native Cunningham, who has endured a torrid time with injuries throughout his career, will now return to the Bluebirds to continue his rehabilitation.
“Rovers would like to thank Greg for his efforts and we wish him well for the future,” a brief statement from Blackburn reads.
Having first made his senior debut for Ireland in 2010, the Manchester City product has been in and around squads in recent years but earned the last of his four caps back in 2013.
Last season, he played just eight times for Cardiff as they got relegated from the Premier League.
