We find a formula for the number of directed 5‐cycles in a tournament in terms of its edge scores and use the formula to find upper and lower bounds on the number of 5‐cycles in any n‐tournament. In particular, we show that the maximum number of 5‐cycles is asymptotically equal to 34n5 , the expected number 5‐cycles in a random tournament ( p=12 ), with equality (up to order of magnitude) for almost all tournaments.
