About This Time Zone Pair
Sydney and New York 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.
Sydney (GMT+10) is 14 hours ahead of New York (EDT). When it's 9:00 AM in Sydney, it's 7:00 PM in New York.
Sydney and New York 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 Sydney and New York. For recurring meetings, consider early morning in Sydney or late afternoon in New York, 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.
