About This Time Zone Pair
New York and Sydney span one of the larger practical time gaps in global business scheduling. Live meetings require off-hours commitment from at least one side — the overlap window is very narrow or nonexistent. Teams working this pair often rotate meeting times so the early or late slot alternates between sides.
New York (EDT) is 14 hours behind Sydney (GMT+10). When it's 9:00 AM in New York, it's 11:00 PM in Sydney.
New York and Sydney observe Daylight Saving Time, which means the offset between the two cities may shift by one hour during DST transitions — particularly if the two regions change their clocks on different dates.
There is no standard 9 AM–6 PM overlap between New York and Sydney. For recurring meetings, consider early morning in New York or late afternoon in Sydney, and use async tools when possible.
For one-off conversions, use the converter above. For recurring meetings, export an .ics calendar invite — attendees see the time in their local zone automatically.
