In this paper we calculate the localisation at the prime 3 of the integral cohomology ring of the Mathieu group M24, together with its mod-3 cohomology ring. The main results are

Theorem 1. The ring H*(M24, Z)(3)is the commutative graded Z(3)-algebra with generators

and relations v2 = 0 and βθ = 0. The Chern classes of the Todd representation in GL11F2
