Let R and S be rings, G and H abelian groups, and RG and SH the goup rings of G and H over R and S respectively. In this note we consider what relations must hold between G and H or between R and S if the group rings RG and SH are isomorphic. For example, it is shown that if R and S are integral domains of characteristic zero, G and H torsion abelian groups such that if G has an element of order p then p is not invertible in R, and RG and SH are isomorphic, then the rings R and 5 are isomorphic and the groups G and H are isomorphic.
