It is not irregular, in that it adds the typical -ed to form the past tense and past participle. However, it follows the pattern of several verbs that end in Y, where the Y is changed to i before adding -ed.(Some verbs ending with vowel-Y, e.g. buoy and guy, do not change the Y. The verb pay may be considered irregular in that paid adds only a D after changing the Y.)
