Following a problem posed by Lovász in 1969, it is believed that every finite connected vertex-transitive graph has a Hamilton path. This is shown here to be true for cubic Cayley graphs arising from finite groups having a (2,s,3)-presentation, that is, for groups G=〈a,b∣a2=1,bs=1,(ab)3=1,...〉 generated by an involution a and an element b of order s≥3 such that their product ab has order 3. More precisely, it is shown that the Cayley graph X=Cay(G,{a,b,b−1}) has a Hamilton cycle when ∣G∣ (and thus s) is congruent to 2 modulo 4, and has a long cycle missing only two adjacent vertices (and thus necessarily a Hamilton path) when ∣G∣ is congruent to 0 modulo 4.
