Train

The relevant station is Mainz Hbf. There are available international services from the surrounding countries: either passing though Mainz directly, or with a connection in Frankfurt, Frankfurt International Airport, or Cologne.

Plane 

You  can land at Frankfurt International Airport, and get on a regional train to Mainz. The central station is called Mainz Hbf. While you are still inside the Airport, you will have to follow directions towards the train station of the airport, located underground the airport facility, called "Frankfurt(M) Flughafen Regionalbf". The relevant services from there are the S8, RE2, RE3. You will be able to buy tickets from vending machines once you are at the train station of the airport, for a price of about 5.80 Euro.

Note that the airport has a second train station, dedicated to long distance trains (Frankfurt(M) Flughafen Fernbf). You can get to Mainz from there as well, but at a slightly more expensive fare (9-15 Euro), and with a less frequent service.
