Worlds of the 52 multiverse

The Worlds of the 52 multiverse were created by DC Comics as part of thier Infinite Crisis/Final Crisis series of comic book events.

While many of the worlds resemble existing worlds, it has been made clear by writers and edits that they are not direct copies of them

New Earth

This is the main universe, and contains most of the characters and stories since Infinite Crisis.

It is a continuation of the "main universe" which has been published in various stories by DC Comics since in 1939.

Earth-1

In the comic introducing the 52, the character Rip Hunter mentioned that New Earth and Earth-1 are separate alternate universes. Nothing else is know about this Earth. There are some references to New Earth as Earth 1, but they are generally considered mistakes by writers. Due to Earth 2 resembling Earth Two there is some speculation that it resembles Earth-1.
