The Athletic Association of the Great Public Schools of New South Wales (AAGPS) is a sporting association of boys' schools in New South Wales, Australia that contest sporting events among themselves. The AAGPS was formed on 30 March 1892,^[1] and today has nine members – eight Sydney schools and one northern NSW country school.^[2] The descriptor 'Public School' references the historical usage of the term and the model of the British public school; all except Sydney Boys High School are in modern parlance private schools.

AAGPS representative sports sides are selected typically for matches against representative sides of the Combined Associated Schools (CAS), Independent Schools Association (ISA) and Combined High Schools (CHS).

Of the 130 Rhodes Scholars from 1904 to 2006 and from New South Wales, 85 attended a GPS School and of the 12 Australian Prime Ministers that attended school in Sydney from 1902 to 2023, 6 attended a GPS school specifically Sydney Grammar School, Sydney Boys High, Shore School or St Ignatius College (Riverview). ^[4]
