FIFA has confirmed that Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington and Dunedin and five Australian cities will host the 32-team tournament.
The original proposal had Eden Park, Waikato Stadium, Wellington Stadium, Christchurch Stadium and Dunedin Stadium hosting games along with Adelaide, Brisbane, Launceston, Melbourne, Newcastle, Perth and Sydney.
Launceston and Newcastle have also missed out.
While Christchurch stadium hosted games during the 2015 men's under-20 FIFA tournament, a multi-million dollar upgrade of the temporary ground was needed.
New Zealand Football chief executive Andrew Pragnell said it just was not up to scratch.
"The standards for a tier one FIFA event, one of their biggest events, are very high and they're well aware that the stadium is temporary so in that regards it's a fairly cut and dried case.
