Greater Hume Shire is a local government area in the Riverina region of southern New South Wales, Australia.[4] The Shire was formed in 2004 incorporating Culcairn Shire, the majority of Holbrook Shire and part of Hume Shire. The shire had an estimated population of 10,137 as at 2012.[5]

The Shire is located adjacent to the Hume, Olympic and Riverina Highways and the Sydney–Melbourne railway.
