Today people do not usually use the terms "old and new worlds" but when the were used in the 17 and 18 centries the new world would be the recently discovered North America. No one ever actually used the term "old world" but that would have reffered to all lands before the discovery of the Americas. So you would be talking about Europe, Eastern Europe, and all of Asia.
