YES:
The multiplication table for that set (with multiplication defined as we know it) is:
Factors are at the top and on the left; products are at the corresponding column-row intersection inside the red square.
As you see, the products include only elements of the set {-1, 0, 1} that you started with, so the set is closed under multiplication.
