We present Near-Infrared ( NIR ) J and K _ { s } -band observations for 181 RR Lyrae stars in the Galactic Globular Cluster \omega Cen .
The comparison between predicted and empirical slopes of NIR Period-Luminosity ( PL ) relations indicates a very good agreement .
Cluster distance estimates based on NIR PL relations agree quite well with recent determinations based on different standard candles , giving a true mean distance modulus \mu = 13.71 \pm 0.05 , and d = 5.52 \pm 0.13 kpc .
