The Hundred has produced only a small handful of centuries since it launched in 2021, since the 100-ball format leaves little room for a long, unhurried innings.
Just three men, Will Smeed, Will Jacks and Harry Brook, have reached three figures in the men’s competition, while Tammy Beaumont and Davina Perrin are the only two women to do so, all across five completed seasons of the tournament.
This article lists every century scored in The Hundred, covering both the men’s and women’s competitions.

Conclusion: Who Has Scored the Most Centuries in The Hundred
No batter has scored more than one century in The Hundred. Will Smeed, Will Jacks and Harry Brook share the men’s record, while Tammy Beaumont and Davina Perrin hold the women’s.
Jack’s 108 not out remains the highest men’s score, Beaumont’s 118 not out is the highest score overall, and Brook’s 41-ball hundred is still the fastest in tournament history.
Neither competition has seen a new century since 2023 in the men’s game or 2025 in the women’s game, leaving the record open ahead of the 2026 season.
