Narrative:

During final for runway xx at ZZZ; my instructor and I both noticed a piper single engine to our right that appeared to be at pattern altitude on downwind; yet the pilot was not using radios as we monitored and announced our positions on the CTAF. The piper would have been flying a left downwind for runway xy; which was not the correct runway at the time; and therefore would be landing with a tailwind. I was concerned that the piper might impede us as we were planning on executing a touch and go. Upon touching down; full power was applied to takeoff again; and only a moment later it was clear that the piper was turning on final for runway xy which was exactly head-on to our position as we were still on the runway preparing to takeoff. Realizing that we had no choice but to abort the takeoff and perform severe evasive action; power was cut completely and full brakes were applied while almost losing control to make the last taxiway we would have been able to exit prior to the piper landing. The pilot was coming in to land like nothing was going to stop him and also never used the radios; convincing us he was in an emergency. We taxied to the FBO and waited for the piper pilot to talk to him. My instructor spoke to him and he stated that he was not in any kind of emergency and admitted he saw us on the runway. His reasoning for not performing a go-around upon seeing another plane on an active runway was that he thought we were simply exiting the runway and not going to takeoff; he also claimed that he was at the wrong airport by mistake and was not using the correct radio frequencies and weather information; which would explain why he came in to land with a tailwind on the wrong runway. From my instructor's estimate; had we not exited the runway when we did and/or not aborted takeoff; he would have very likely made a head-on impact with our plane based on our position on the surface and his glide path. The piper pilot clearly had no business forcing us off the runway in such a dangerous way and seemed to lack common sense and proper judgment by refusing to perform a go-around despite the runway being in use and assuming the actions of another plane with which he did not have radio communication. Human error was certainly a factor in this occurrence.

Title: Pilot reported that an aircraft not on CTAF approached to land on the wrong runway; forcing them to take evasive action.
