The 31-year-old, who announced his retirement from international football with England last week, was stopped by police in Wilmslow at 2am on Friday morning.
Rooney was driving a black VW Beetle when caught driving while over the prescribed limit and has since been released on bail.
He is due to appear at Stockport Magistrates' Court on September 18.
