The aim of this paper is to obtain a group-2-groupoid as a 2-groupoid object in the category of groups and also as a special kind of an internal category in the category of group-groupoids. Corresponding group-2-groupoids, we obtain some categorical structures related to crossed modules and group-groupoids and prove categorical equivalences between them. These results enable us to obtain 2-dimensional notions of group-groupoids.
