You need to override the Mage_Sales_Model_Order class via the

Magento_root/app/code/local/Mage

directory or rewrite it in your custom extension.

You set two tags to this question:

magento-1.9 and magento-1.8

So if you are using Magento 1.9.1.0 or newest, then you need to add some code to the queueNewOrderEmail function otherwise into the sendNewOrderEmail function.

Please find the following line of code:

if ($this->getCustomerIsGuest())

and add the following code into the else statement:

$customerGroup = Mage::getModel('customer/group')->load($this->getCustomerGroupId());
if ($customerGroup->getEmail()) {
    $copyTo[] = $customerGroup->getEmail(); // getting value from your custom field
}

it should look like this:

if ($this->getCustomerIsGuest()) {
    $templateId = Mage::getStoreConfig(self::XML_PATH_EMAIL_GUEST_TEMPLATE, $storeId);
    $customerName = $this->getBillingAddress()->getName();
} else {
    $templateId = Mage::getStoreConfig(self::XML_PATH_EMAIL_TEMPLATE, $storeId);
    $customerName = $this->getCustomerName();
    $customerGroup = Mage::getModel('customer/group')->load($this->getCustomerGroupId());
    if ($customerGroup->getEmail()) {
        $copyTo[] = $customerGroup->getEmail();
    }
}
