<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="/path/to/group[1]"/>
</

then within the group template, apply-templates to the next sibling, or item:

<xsl:template match="group">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:copy-of select="node()"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::*[1][self::group
or self:item]"/>
  </
</
