World records in speedcubing are ratified by the World Cube Association (WCA).[1] The WCA ratifies records in 17 events. All events except 3×3×3 multi-blind have two categories: single and average.[2]
For most events, an average of five is taken, but for 6×6×6, 7×7×7, 3×3×3 blindfolded, 3×3×3 fewest moves, 4×4×4 blindfolded and 5×5×5 blindfolded, an average of three is taken. For averages of five solves, the best time and the worst time are dropped (Shown in parentheses), and the mean of the remaining three solves is taken. For averages of three solves, the mean of all three is taken.[3]
The following are the official speedcubing world records approved by the WCA as of September 2025.[2]
