back-to-back-to-back

Triple in succession

Back-to-back-to-back extends the phrase back-to-back to describe three consecutive occurrences: The team won back-to-back-to-back championships.

Where back-to-back suggests two things in immediate succession, this emphatic form highlights the rarity or impressiveness of a three-peat.
