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.[1] Following the closure of Carntyne in 1971 the event was switched to Shawfield in 1973.[2]

The race was discontinued after the 2009 running but was re-introduced for a one off running in 2016.[3]
