State of Origin fever has emerged as the pound-for-pound most *lucrative sporting event in Australia, driving TV advertising rates to a record high as rugby league bosses give serious consideration to splitting up the media rights to score even bigger profits.

Fierce interstate rivalry between Queensland and NSW has delivered an advertising bonanza for exclusive TV rights holder the Nine Network, which has bumped up rates by 5 per cent, according to insiders. Advertisers in last night’s telecast paid up to $150,000 for a 30-second TV spot amid extraordinary demand.

The Origin series has now eclipsed the AFL and NRL grand finals as the most valuable winter sporting event, putting the three-game series on course to deliver at least $20m in advertising revenues.
