Daragh Cummins has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.32, set at UCD Cube Days 2026, puts him in the top 7.2% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 111th in Ireland. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since May 2025, he has put 455 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 88% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.92 in May 2025 to 10.68, a 55% improvement. Daragh has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% of everyone who has ever competed.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
