The Brookhaven Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) is the first hadron accelerator and collider consisting of two independent rings. It is designed to operate at high collision luminosity over a wide range of beam energies and with particle species ranging from polarized protons to heavy ions. Construction of RHIC was officially completed in 1999. An overview of the status of commissioning and machine performance for the first operation period with gold beams is given.
