A possibility of the realization of the p-wave spin-singlet superconductivity (pSS), whose gapfunction is odd both in momentum and in frequency, is investigated by solving the gap equation with the phenomenological interaction mediated by the antiferromagnetic spin fluctuation. The pSS is realized prevailing over the d-wave singlet superconductivity (dSS) in the vicinity of antiferrornagnetic quantum critical point (QCP) both on the paramagnetic and on the antiferromagnetic sides. Off the QCP in the paramagnetic phase, however, the dSS with line-nodes is realized as conventional anisotropic superconductivity. For the present pSS state, there is no gap in the quasiparticle spectrum everywhere on the Fermi surface due to its odd frequency. These features can give a qualitative understanding of the anomalous behaviors of NQR relaxation rate on CeCu_2Si_2 or CeRhIn_5 where the antiferrornagnetism and superconductivity coexist on a microscopic level.
