AB Negative is probably the rarest: Check out Wikipedia - they have a good table of type distribution: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_type

AB - is the rarest blood type found in human beings. 1 in every 167 people have this blood group / type. Hope this answers your question.

There are only 4 groups found in humans - A, B, AB, and O. These can be rhesus + or -. It is more common to be rhesus + than -. AB is the rarest blood group and it follows that people who are AB- have the rarest group.

The guy who said the Bombay Blood is only in the three individuals he cited is inaccurate. I do agree it's the rarest, but there are more folks than that who have that blood type. This is the rarest of all blood types.

The rarest blood type found is called Bombay blood (subtype h-h), found only in a Czechoslovakian nurse in 1961 and in a brother and sister in Massachusetts in 1968.

IIRC it's AB negative, which is like less than 1% of the population.
