The Antares neutrino telescope, operating at 2.5 km depth in the Mediterranean Sea, 40 km off the Toulon shore, represents the world's largest operational underwater neutrino telescope, optimized for the detection of Cerenkov light produced by neutrino-induced muons. The main goal of Antares is the search of high energy neutrinos from astrophysical point or transient sources. Antares is taking data in its full 12 lines configuration since May 2008: in this paper we collect the 16 contributions by the ANTARES collaboration that were submitted to the 31th International Cosmic Ray Conference ICRC 2009. These contributions includes the detector performances, the first preliminary results on neutrino events and the current physics analysis including the sensitivity to point like sources, the possibility to detect high energy neutrinos in coincidence with GRB, the search for dark matter or exotic particles.
