The sample consists of 2182 stars measured in an area of 13.6'x13.6', extending down to V∼21.5. These data are supplemented with CORAVEL radial-velocity observations for seven red giant candidates. A cluster angular radius of 6.7±0.6', equivalent to 3.5±0.3pc, is estimated from star counts carried out inside and outside the cluster region. The comparison of the cluster colour-magnitude diagrams with isochrones of the Padova group yields E(B-V)=0.30±0.05, E(V-I)=0.40±0.05 and V-MV=12.20±0.25 for logt=8.70 (t=500+130-100Myr) and Z=0.019. NGC 2489 is then located at 1.8±0.3kpc from the Sun and 25pc below the Galactic plane. The analysis of the kinematical data allowed us to confirm cluster membership for six red giants, one of them being a spectroscopic binary. A mean radial velocity of 38.13±0.33km/s was derived for the cluster red giants. The properties of a sample of open clusters aligned along the line of sight of NGC 2489 are examined. Description: CCD images of the cluster field were obtained with the Johnson B and V and KronCousins I filters using the 0.9-m telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO, Chile) on 2000 December 2324.
