The St Mungo Cup was a greyhound competition held at Shawfield Stadium in Glasgow.
It was inaugurated in 1927 at Carntyne Stadium and established itself as one of the leading events in Scotland. Following the closure of Carntyne in 1971 the event was switched to Shawfield in 1973.
The race was discontinued after the 2009 running but was re-introduced for a one off running in 2016.
