The triple point is the temperature and pressure at which three phases (gas, liquid, and solid) of a particular substance may coexist in thermodynamic equilibrium. 

For water the triple point temperature is 273.16 K (0.01 C) and the triple point pressure is 611.73 Pa.

Note that the pressure referred to here is the vapor pressure of the substance, not the total pressure of the entire system.
