It depends what you mean by group. If you mean a vast group of millions/billions of stars, then it's a galaxy (but of course that would include EVERYTHING in the region of space that the galaxy occupies like planets, asteroids, comets, black holes, pulsars, etc), if it's a few stars, it might be a cluster or a constellation.

Groups of stars form galaxies. Groups of galaxies form super-galaxies. The next higher lot is a galactic cluster.

In Astrology, which is NOT a science, stars which appear to be in a group are called constellations. However, there is no physical or cosmological relationship between the stars which form a constellation apart from their appearance within a similar line of sight from the earth at the present time.
