We prove that the averaging formula for Nielsen numbers holds for continuous maps on infra-nilmanifolds: Let M be an infra-nilmanifold and ƒ: MM be a continuous map. Suppose MK is a regular covering of M which is a compact nilmanifold with π1(MK = K. Assume that f*(K)K. Then ƒ has a lifting . We prove a question raised by McCord, which is for any with an essential fixed point class, fix =1. As a consequence, we obtain the following averaging formula for Nielsen numbers
