It was recently claimed that Rock, Veep star Julia-Louis Dreyfus and last year's host Ellen DeGeneres were approached prior to Neil Patrick Harris.
Rock has now denied the claims, telling The Wrap : "I didn't get an offer. I mean, it's Neil Patrick Harris.
"It's like, who would pick me before Neil Patrick Harris? He's an amazing host."
Gone Girl and How I Met Your Mother star Harris will preside over the Oscars for the first time in 2015, but is a seasoned awards show host, having previously presented the Emmys and the Tony Awards.
Rock previously hosted the Academy Awards telecast in 2005 to a mixed reception, including an on-stage rebuke from Sean Penn after the comedian made a joke about his All the King's Men co-star Jude Law.
He has previously expressed enthusiasm for hosting the Oscars again if asked.
Former Saturday Night Live cast member Rock will return to the NBC primetime show as host on Saturday, November 1, with Prince as special music guest.
