It depends on several factors.
First, according to Islamic theology, Islam has existed since the Creation of the Universe, so under that definition, Islam is necessarily older since Catholicism was developed within the world.
However, if we proceed from a historical basis there is a serious debate on which is older for the following reason: the Unified Church was founded in the First Century C.E., nearly 500 years before Islam was founded. The Unified Church was an umbrella group the would eventually schism in 451, dropping the Monophysites and Miaphysites (such as the Copts, Armenians, and Ethiopians, etc.), and again in 1054, when the Unified Church had the Great Schism which led to independent Catholicism and Orthodoxy. Therefore, Catholicism as a distinctly named church is younger than Islam by around 400 years, but Catholicism traces its origins to the Unified Church which is older than Islam by around 500 years.

What is older Islam or Christianty?
Christianity by far. The founder of Islam was born around 570AD and died in Medina in 632 AD and is regarded as a prophet of God by muslims. Jesus of Nazareth was born around 4BC and is regarded as God incarnate (because of his teachings, his miracles, his authority, his sacrifice by death on the cross for our redemption, and his greatest miracle - the resurrection). However, he is regarded as simply a prophet of God by muslims. He is called 'the Christ' by Christians and his crucifixion and resurrection took place somewhere between 30-33AD, five hundred years before Mohammed was born. The Christian religion began as 'the Way' and by 50AD there were dozens of churches (groups of Christians) set up right across the Mediterranean area, many of whom were corresponded with by the apostle Paul, whose writings (which date from about 55AD) can be read in the New Testament today. ing the question above: the older is 'Christianity', which was revealed after Torah and before Islam. Christianity is older by about 500 years.
