The Dubliner was on track for victory when he went two shots clear through 14 holes, but a double bogey on the 15th and a bogey on the 18th opened the door for Cabrera.
The Argentine capitalised, winning his second senior major in a week after The Tradition in Alabama.
Cabrera’s final round of 69 left him eight-under for the tournament.
Harrington shared second place with Thomas Bjorn, signing off with a 68 after rounds of 71, 69 and 73 respectively.
It’s more Senior PGA Championship disappointment for the three-time Major winner: he lost to Steve Stricker in a play-off two years ago.
Darren Clarke, meanwhile, finished in a three-way tie for 11th alongside Spain’s Miguel Angel Jimenez and YE Yang of South Korea, on three-under overall after a final round of 68.
