Governing body FIA ratified its calendar for the coming season on Tuesday and left the Canadian GP off the list for the first time since 1987.
The inaugural Abu Dhabi GP replaces the Canadian race.
The Canadian GP had been held at the Montreal track annually since 1978.
An extraordinary meeting of the World Motor Sport Council (WMSC) was held in Paris today. The most significant decision was the dropping of the Canadian Grand Prix from the schedule meaning that North America no longer has a Formula One race.
The revised 18-race calendar now features a traditional summer break between the Hungarian and European Grand Prix while Abu Dhabi will host its first Grand Prix right at the end of the season.
