A radial velocity survey of the open cluster IC 4665A radial velocity survey of the open cluster IC 4665 is reported for a group of candidate members previously identified on the basis of proper motion and photometry. Of those candidates observed, 20 out of 42 have radial velocities consistent with membership; these cluster members populate the F5-K0 dwarf region and represent the first relatively conclusive membership determinations for such solar-type stars in IC 4665. Three new spectroscopic binary members of the cluster have been identified. Rotational velocities have also been derived; the v sin i distribution among IC 4665 members reveals that most apparent G dwarf members of IC 4665 are seen to exhibit substantial rotation (v sin i greater than 10 km/s). When compared to evolutionary isochrones, the current list of intermediate-mass members appears to support earlier suggestions that IC 4665 has an age comparable to the Pleiades.
