They are hermaphrodite, that means they've got both male and female organs, still they need a partner so that they can exchange sperm, they do it by mating. the sperm stored in the seminal receptacle is later used in the fertilization of eggs and are then released in a cocoon, the new earthworm come out in about 2-3 weeks.

I remember hearing (as a child) that they "reproduce" by being cut in half and that both halves each make a new worm.... but in 6th grade, we learned that was bunk when we disected one.
The other answers were right, they're asexual.

Each worm has both female and male body parts. It must make dating much different than the single bars we have.

Earthworms are monoecious (both female and male organs within the same individual). They have testes, seminal vesicles and male pores which produce, store and release the sperm, and ovaries and ovipores.

they do actually reproduce sexually..i just took biology this year and we learnt about them. they have a part on their underside, underneath something called the clitellum (i dont remember if thats quite the right spelling) and they do have reproductive organs

Through asexual means.

They have both male and female reproductive organs, meaning they are hermaphrodites.
