Abby Dow and Ellie Kildunne both scored a hat-tricks as England recorded a record win over Ireland in front of 48,778 at Twickenham to remain on course for the Grand Slam.
Centre Megan Jones and Jess Breach scored two tries each, with Natasha Hunt and Zoe Aldcroft also crossing.
Sadia Kabeya and Maddie Feaunati went over in the second half, with Ireland managing a penalty try in response.
England’s previous record win over Ireland was a 79-0 victory in 2002.
Victory means the Red Roses have set up a potential Grand Slam decider with France next Saturday, who are also undefeated and face winless Wales on Sunday.
England will head to Bordeaux full of confidence that they can secure a third successive Grand Slam and a sixth successive Six Nations title.
