The Dublin defeat ended England’s bid for a second successive Grand Slam in the Six Nations.
Ireland overwhelmed England with their intensity and physicality as Ian Henderson’s first half try proved decisive.
England manager Eddie Jones said: “Everything was wrong in the preparation because we played that way.
“I take full responsibility, I did not prepare the team well and we will respond in the future.
“It was a tight old match. A thing or two that go your way and turn the game around, they didn’t pull in our way today.
“We didn’t work hard enough to get these opportunities and that’s what happens.”
Henderson’s try and eight points from the boot of Johnny Sexton put Ireland in command in front of a raucous crowd.
