We identify a group of ~20 co-moving, mostly southern hemisphere, ~200 Myrold stars near Earth. Of the stars likely to be members of this Carina-NearMoving Group, in either its nucleus (~30 pc from Earth) or surrounding stream,all but 3 are plausible members of a multiple star system. The nucleus is(coincidentally) located quite close to the nucleus of the AB Doradus movinggroup notwithstanding that the two groups have substantially different ages andGalactic space motions, UVW.Comment: 9 pages, 1 table, 2 figures. Accepted in ApJ
