A connected graph i of even order is n-extendable, if it contains a matching of size n and if every such matching is contained in a perfect matching of i. Furthermore, a connected graph i of odd order is n 1 -extendable, if for every vertex v of i the graph i i v is n-extendable. It is proved that every connected Cayley graph of an abelian group of odd order which is not a cycle is 1 1 -extendable. This result is then used to classify 2-extendable connected Cayley graphs of generalized dihedral groups.
