The Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal was removed from the 2009 F1 season, the International Automobile Federation announced on Tuesday.
Next season will be the first since 1987 that Canada will not host a Formula One race.
With three races remaining in this year's 18-race schedule, the sport's governing body released a calendar for 2009, moving the Turkish Grand Prix from August to June to replace Montreal. The decision allows the teams a summer break.
Organizers have added the inaugural Abu Dhabi Grand Prix as part of its schedule for November 2009.
The move means there will be no F1 race in North America in 2009. The U.S. Grand Prix in Indianapolis was also removed this year.
