A century is 100 years. This can be from any time to the same time one hundred years later, although we generally say we are in a new century when we pass through 1900 to 2000. This is why we say '21st century'. A centenary is specifically relating to the one hundredth anniversary of a time or event. For example, the Centenary of the sinking of the Titanic has just passed, 100 hundred years since sinking in April, 1912.
