We review the results of bulk and neutron diffraction measurements on the UCu_{5-x}Au_{x} system crystallizing in the cubic AuBe_{5}-type structure. The observed properties may be understood in the light of competition between Kondo effect and RKKY exchange interactions. Effects of 5f-ligand hybridization between the U-atoms occupying the 4a-sites and the Au- or/and Cu-atoms placed at the 4c- and 16e-positions, respectively, are supposed to be different. We show that the prefential occupation of 4c-sites by Au has a marked effect on the magnetic properties of the investigated system.
