Preliminary results are presented of a search for RR Lyrae variable stars in old clusters in the Magellanic Clouds. RR Lyraes have been found in NGC 1786 and NGC 2210. With the exceptions of NGC 339 (SMC) and NGC 2019 and Hodge 11 (LMC), all clusters classified as type VII by Searle, Wilkinson and Bagnuolo (1980) contain RR Lyrae variables. On the other hand, none have yet been found in clusters of type VI.
