翌年 means 'next year', while 翌々年 means 'the year after next'.
再来年 is a more colloquial synonym for 'the year after next'. 翌々年 is slightly more formal and often used in written or business contexts.
Compound of 翌 (yoku, 'next') reduplicated for emphasis, plus 年 (nen, 'year'). The reduplication shifts the meaning from 'next year' to 'the year after next'.
