Obviously read "man tar" and be sure that you understand any limitations which may apply to your system. We know nothing about your system or the size of your files or the quantity of file or the reasoning behind your process.

This command creates a simple "tar" archive: Beware that this does not work on every Operating Systems and can collapse if there are too many files (e.g. with AIX).
Code:
tar -cvf file_containing_all_of_2009.tar 2009*
