Donnacha Moore has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 24.29, set at Re-Laois the Cubers 2025, puts him in the top 75.3% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 265th in Ireland. Across 8 competitions since July 2024, he has put 88 official solves on the record across three events.

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.
