The existence of a travelling wave solution of the 3-species Lotka-Volterra competition-diffusion system is established. A travelling wave solution can be considered as a heteroclinic orbit of a vector field in \mathbb{R}^6. Under suitable assumptions on the parameters of the equations, we apply a bifurcation theory of heteroclinic orbits to show that a 3-species travelling wave can bifurcate from two 2- species waves which connect to a common equilibrium.
