Canada, Mexico, Morocco and the US were exempt, while Ghana was absent after the country's government said it had disbanded its football Associations for alleged "widespread" corruption.
Both Mexico (1970 and 1986) and the United States (1994) have previously hosted World Cups.
Canada staged the Women's World Cup in 2015.
The 'United' winning bid hope to generate $14bn revenue, with $11bn as profit for Fifa.
United States will use 10 cities to host 60 matches while Canada and Mexico will each use 3 cities to host 10 matches each.
The final will be held at the 84,953-capacity MetLife Stadium, which is home to NFL sides the New York Giants and the New York Jets.
The distance between the most northern host city (Edmonton) and the most southern (Mexico City) is almost 3,000 miles, which compares to 1,900 miles at this month's tournament in Russia.
The tournament will mark the first time a World Cup has been shared by three host nations.
The 1994 World Cup, staged by the US, had the highest average attendance in the tournament's history, while Mexico was the first nation to host the event twice.
