The decay branching fractions of the three narrow Upsilon resonances to mu+mu- have been measured by analyzing about 4.3 1/fb e+e- data collected in the vicinity of the resonances with the CLEO III detector. The branching fraction B(Y(1S) to mu+mu-) = (2.49 +- 0.02 \+- 0.07)% is consistent with the current world average but B(Y(2S) to mu+mu-) = (2.03 +- 0.03 +- 0.08)% and B(Y(3S) to mu+mu-) = (2.39 +- 0.07 +- 0.10)% are significantly larger than prior results. These new muonic branching fractions imply a narrower total decay width for the Y(2S) and Y(3S) resonances and lower other branching fractions that rely on these decays in their determination.
