We report here on a preliminary analysis of the DENIS new IR point source catalogue of the Magellanic Clouds. After subtracting the contribution of foreground stars we interpret the colour-colour diagrams and colour-magnitude diagrams that characterize the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB). The AGB stars cause a clear bump in the luminosity function and they are distributed in two distinct regions, according to the spectral type (C-rich and O-rich), in the colour-luminosity diagram.
