ARIA Award for Best Group

The ARIA Music Award for Best Group, is an award presented at the annual ARIA Music Awards, which recognises "the many achievements of Aussie artists across all music genres", since 1987. It is handed out by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA), an organisation whose aim is "to advance the interests of the Australian record industry." The award is given to an Australian group comprising two or more members for an album or single release. The accolade is voted for by a judging academy which comprises 1000 members from different areas of the music industry.

The award for Best Group was first presented to INXS in 1987, for their single "Listen Like Thieves". INXS and Tame Impala are tied for the most wins with three each. Powderfinger have the most nominations with 10, while Hilltop Hoods and Hunters & Collectors are tied for the most nominations without a win with five each. The Cruel Sea became the only group to win in consecutive years with their second win in 1995. Two groups, the Temper Trap and Amyl and the Sniffers, have won both their nominations.
