In this paper, we investigate the global monopole in asymptotically dS or AdS spacetime and find that the mass of the monopole in the asymptotically dS spacetime can be positive if the cosmological constant is greater than a critical value. This shows that the gravitational field of the global monopole can be attractive or repulsive depending on the value of the cosmological constant.
