Time difference between Auckland and New York
New York is 16 hours behind Auckland
Auckland, New Zealand is UTC+12 · New York, the United States is UTC−5 — on standard time
The gap is not the same all year
Every converter gives one number for this pair. That number is right for most of the year and wrong for part of it, because Auckland goes forward on the last Sunday in September and back on the first Sunday in April and New York goes forward on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November.
| Auckland / New York clocks | Difference | How long |
|---|---|---|
| standard / summer | 16 hours behind | about 25 weeks |
| summer / standard | 18 hours behind | about 18 weeks |
| summer / summer | 17 hours behind | about 9 weeks |
These two are in opposite hemispheres, so their summers do not overlap: Auckland is on summer time roughly when New York is not. The gap does not wobble by an hour around a settled figure — it swings between 16 hours and 18 hours and spends a good part of the year at each. There is no single right answer to give a calendar, which is why a recurring meeting between them is worth setting in one city's local time and letting the other side see it move.
When they can both be at their desks
Nine-to-five in Auckland and nine-to-five in New York do not overlap at all. With 16 hours between them, one side is always outside working hours, and the practical question is which side takes the early start or the late finish rather than when to meet.
