New York to Sydney time difference
Sydney is 14 to 16 hours ahead of New York, and the gap moves more than most because the two cities observe daylight saving in opposite halves of the year. Sydney is almost always on the following calendar day during New York working hours.
Working hours: when New York and Sydney overlap
A standard 09:00–17:00 working day in New York and the same hours in Sydney do not overlap at all at the moment — the gap between the two cities is simply too wide. In practice this pairing needs someone to take an early-morning or evening call, or an asynchronous handover instead of a live meeting. Use the timeline above to find the least unsociable hour for both sides.

Frequently Asked Questions: New York & Sydney
Can I compare New York and Sydney time directly?
Yes - this page loads New York and Sydney by default so you can see the current gap between them immediately. You can still change either city using the boxes above if you want a different comparison.
What do the common time zone abbreviations GMT, EST, and PST stand for?
These abbreviations identify a region's standard offset from UTC. GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is the reference time for the UK, EST (Eastern Standard Time) covers the US East Coast such as New York and Washington, and PST (Pacific Standard Time) covers the US West Coast such as Los Angeles.
Does this time zone calculator automatically account for Daylight Saving Time (DST)?
Yes. TimeMatch.me reads the time zone database built into your own browser, which already knows whether any given city is currently observing daylight saving or standard time, and adjusts the calculation automatically all year round.
Does the site save my location or time data on a server?
No. TimeMatch.me runs entirely on the client side - every calculation happens on your phone or computer. Nothing about your location, your searches, or the cities you compare is sent to or stored on our servers.
Can I compare two specific time zones directly?
Yes. Besides the main comparator, dedicated pages such as the GMT to EST converter pre-load two common zones for a quick check, and you can always type any two cities into the boxes on any page.
