New England North West is the name given to the region in the north of the state of New South Wales, about 60 km inland with two traditional centres of Armidale and Tamworth. Tamworth is now best known as the centre of Australia's country music industry and the home of the Australian Equine and Livestock Events Centre(AELEC).

This area produces some of Australia's best fine wool, beef cattle, cotton and wheat. Other primary production activities include dairying, the production of grains, lamb, pork, fruit, potatoes, poultry, eggs, various mining activities, timber production, viticulture and aquaculture.

There are numerous other business activities across the region ranging from small enterprises to large multi-national corporations that are producing goods for domestic and international markets.
