Hello dorfy666,
I found a couple of resources that have steps to help you export a group of contacts.
If you would like to export a group from www.iCloud.com, you can follow these steps (you can also select all contacts in step 1 by single clicking on one contact in the group and then using command+A):
Export a contact as a vCard
- Select the contact you want to export in the contacts list.
On your Mac, Shift-click to select multiple adjacent contacts or Command-click to select multiple nonadjacent contacts.
- Choose Export vCard from the Action pop-up menu
at the bottom of the contacts list.
If you select multiple contacts, Contacts exports a single vCard containing all of them.
You can find the full article here:
iCloud: Export contact information as a vCard
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606
If you have the group in your Address Book or Contacts application, you can follow these steps:
Export vCards
Do one of the following:
- Drag a contact out of the Address Book window to the desktop to create a vCard file.
- Drag multiple contacts or a group out of the Address Book window to the desktop to create one vCard file for all of the contacts.Some applications might not be able to read vCard files that contain multiple entries; to create a vCard file for each contact, hold down the Option key while dragging the contacts or the group.
- In the Address Book window, select one or more contacts or a group, and then choose File > Export > Export vCard.
Notes and photos are exported by default. To exclude these fields when you export cards, select the appropriate options in Address Book vCard preferences.
When you export your card, only the fields you’ve chosen to share are exported.

Hi Sheila,
Thanks for your help
My issue is that when i export the group it is not recreated as a Group on the contact list of my colleges phone, it adds all the contacts and their info but it does not store them a group, does that make sense?
A workaround is to put the group name in the notes section of each contact. Then the recipients can search for the group name and when all of the contatacts are displayed create their own group.
OT
Thanks Old Toad
I did do this already but wanted to see if i could get the group to appear on their phones etc rather than them searching
seems it might not be possible!
Plus ive got snow lepeord and reading up they really dont want you to intergrate icloud with you mac unless you have lion
did manage to find away around it tho
