World records in speedcubing are ratified by the World Cube Association (WCA). [1] The WCA ratifies records in 17 events. All events except 3x3x3 multi-blind have two categories: single and average. [2]
For most events, an average of five is taken, but for 6x6x6, 7x7x7, 3x3x3 blindfolded, 3x3x3 fewest moves, 4x4x4 blindfolded and 5x5x5 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]
