A search is made for underground muons from Cygnus X-3 with the Irvine-Michigan-Brookhaven IMB-3 detector around the time of the 1989 radio outbursts. No long-term pulsed signal is found in a sample of 11 117 underground muons collected from the direction of Cygnus X-3. We place an upper limit of 3{times}10{sup {minus}10} cm{sup {minus}2} sec{sup {minus}1} on the flux of underground muons from Cygnus X-3.
