The prevailing theory today concerning the formation of the Moon is known as the "Giant Impact Theory". It is hypothesized that an object roughly the size of Mars hit the proto-Earth (developing earth) and caused a large chunk the earth to be ejected into space. That would mean that the Moon is approximately 4-5 billion years old, or if you want to be more precise, as old as the earth.
