  CiviCRM by default does not have an option to import groups. However, there is a third-party extension that provides a user interface to import anything through the more powerful CiviCRM API.
  First, install the API CSV GUI extension:
  https://civicrm.org/extensions/api-csv-import-gui
  Then click the new menu item that appears and select Entity to Import: Group.
  Version 1.1 includes the wrong alias path, so remember to type "civicrm/" before "csvimporter/import" or else a Page Not Found error will be thrown.  
  mywebsite.com/csvimporter/import
  
  should really be...
  mywebsite.com/civicrm/csvimporter/import
  
  Alternatively, install from git: https://github.com/eileenmcnaughton/nz.co.fuzion.csvimport
