The figure was a 148 percent increase on revenue achieved from previous media rights arrangements, the ARU said in a statement on Thursday.
The agreement, which runs from 2016-20, is the ARU's share of a wider broadcasting rights package still being finalised by the governing body SANZAR, which will expand to include Argentina next year.
The agreement with subscription broadcaster Fox Sports includes a deal with Channel 10 for Wallabies test matches while the free-to-air broadcaster will also get delayed replay rights for selected Super Rugby games.
