The Round Tower Stakes is a Group 3 flat horse race in Ireland open to two-year-old thoroughbreds. It is run at the Curragh over a distance of 6 furlongs (1,207 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in late August or early September.
The event was formerly contested over 5 furlongs, and it used to be classed at Listed level. It was extended to 6 furlongs in 1991, and promoted to Group 3 status in 2004.
The Round Tower Stakes was sponsored by Moyglare Stud from 1993 to 2013 and its full title included the name of Go and Go, a successful Moyglare racehorse. The 2014 running was sponsored by Nestlé, supporting the Irish Autism Action charity.
