Yes, there is: For extracting the tarball locally see Upgrade and for the database update see Upgrade!

You find the tarballs in the folders at http://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/. Please note that MediaWiki 1.9 is already really, really old. It has known security holes and it is no longer supported. There will be no updates and also no security fixes for it! If at all possible, you should upgrade to a current version. These are MediaWiki 1.19, which has Long Term Support, and MediaWiki 1.23, which is the newest available.
