To find the price per cup for the 2-pint bottle of wood polish, we first need to determine how many cups are in 2 pints.
1 pint is equal to 2 cups, so:
\[
2 \text{ pints} = 2 \times 2 = 4 \text{ cups}
\]
Now, we can calculate the price per cup by dividing the total cost of the bottle by the number of cups:
\[
\text{Price per cup} = \frac{\text{Total price}}{\text{Number of cups}} = \frac{10.44}{4}
\]
Now doing the division:
\[
\frac{10.44}{4} = 2.61
\]
Thus, the price per cup is:
\[
\boxed{2.61}
\]
