We prove that the cohomology classes of the moduli spaces of residueless meromorphic differentials, ie the closures, in the moduli space of stable curves, of the loci of smooth curves whose marked points are the zeros and poles of prescribed orders of a meromorphic differential with vanishing residues, form a partial cohomological field theory (CohFT) of infinite rank. To this partial CohFT we apply the double ramification hierarchy construction to produce a Hamiltonian system of evolutionary PDEs. We prove that its reduction to the case of differentials with exactly two zeros and any number of poles coincides with the KP hierarchy up to a change of variables.
