Actor Russell Crowe, businessman Peter Holmes a Court and world surfing champion Layne Beachley have been named Sydney ambassadors.

NSW Premier Morris Iemma said the three would help promote Sydney and NSW to the United States.

"They are international heavyweights who can influence people from industry, business, entertainment and sport," Mr Iemma said in a statement today.

"Their public support of Sydney will encourage people to visit and invest in business, tourism, the arts, sport and education.

"The Sydney ambassadors will be part of a promotional campaign that will appear in the US later this year."

Mr Iemma said the appointment of the ambassadors would help strengthen links between NSW and the US.

"The United States is NSW's fourth largest export destination and Australia's largest source of foreign investment," he said.

The three have been taking part in G'Day USA events, which aim to showcase Australia to the US.
