Nearby late-type stars are excellent targets for seeking young objects instellar associations and moving groups. The origin of these structures is stillmisunderstood, and lists of moving group members often change with time andalso from author to author. Most members of these groups have been identifiedby means of kinematic criteria, leading to an important contamination ofprevious lists by old field stars. We attempt to identify unambiguous movinggroup members among a sample of nearby-late type stars by studying theirkinematics, lithium abundance, chromospheric activity, and other age-relatedproperties. High-resolution echelle spectra ($R \sim 57000$) of a sample ofnearby late-type stars are used to derive accurate radial velocities that arecombined with the precise Hipparcos parallaxes and proper motions to computegalactic-spatial velocity components. Stars are classified as possible membersof the classical moving groups according to their kinematics. The spectra arealso used to study several age-related properties for young late-type stars,i.e., the equivalent width of the lithium Li~{\sc i} \space 6707.8 \space \AA\space line or the $R'_{\rm HK}$ index. Additional information like X-rayfluxes from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey or the presence of debris discs is alsotaken into account. The different age estimators are compared and the movinggroup membership of the kinematically selected candidates are discussed. From atotal list of 405 nearby stars, 102 have been classified as moving groupcandidates according to their kinematics. i.e., only $\sim$ 25.2 \% of thesample. The number reduces when age estimates are considered, and only 26moving group candidates (25.5\% of the 102 candidates) have ages in agreementwith the star having the same age as an MG member
