The three-point spatial correlation functions are estimated for four subsamples of Abell clusters with richness, R, of at least one, as well as for the whole northern sample of R at least 2 Abell clusters. The preliminary results show that the three-point correlation functions of Abell clusters can be expressed by a scaling form, Q of the power law functions. For R at least one clusters, Q = 0.65 + or - 0.35, and for R at least two clusters, Q = 0.62 = or - 0.20. Compared with the statistical results obtained from three-point correlation functions of galaxies, the Q-values yielded here are very close to those of several red shift samples of galaxies. This means that from galaxies to R at least two Abell clusters, their Q remains a constant, although their three-point correlation functions span three magnitudes. This universal scaling form would be important for theories of galaxy formation.
