Is there is any event that fire when the Custom report type is created?

Hi,
My requirement is that whenever the Custom report Type is created I want to do DML operation on Custom object. That will store the information related to that Custom report Type.

Thanks,
Sandesh

There is no event to speak of when creating a report type.  Instead, you should use the metadata api to pull in info for a report type when you need it.  Unfortunately, there's no way I know of to list all the report types either, so a batch job would not be practical either.  

Here's the info that comes back via the metadata api for report types: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_meta.meta/api_meta/meta_reporttype.htm?search_text=report%20types
Here's an apex wrapper you could use to call the metadata API from Apex: https://github.com/financialforcedev/apex-mdapi
