Let k be an integer. It is known that the maximum number of threecovers of a k-uniform intersecting family with covering number three is k 3 − 3k 2 + 6k − 4 for k = 3, 4 or k ≥ 9. In this paper, we prove that the same holds for k = 5, and show that a 5-uniform intersecting family with covering number three which has 76 three-covers is uniquely determined.
